Abandoned El Camino's First Drive!!! SHE RIPS!

[@Beardest_Fishing]

That intake is for a spread bore carb. You're running a 4150 series square bore Holley. You're going to need an adapter under the carb or the secondary butterflies will not work correctly and might even jam on the intake. The high idle is probably caused from a vacuum leak in your hoses or more than likely on the carb base. Take some starting fluid and spray around the base of the carb and all your vacuum lines while the engine is running and if you hear the idle change then you've found the leak. The popping and backfiring is a dead give away that it's lean and more than likely it's from the leak.

[@ghostanonymous8752]

Hey Matt, that thing causing the throttle to open a bit is a electromagnetic solenoid that controls idle speed when ender load. That means when you put it in gear it changed the idle speed. Same with the AC, will throttle it up when it's on. Just unplug it and adjust the throttle idle stop.
