Build Thread '79 "Crayola" Scrap Pile Build

She cranks!!!! Wont idle without quite a bit of throttle. Not sure if its the advance or what. Not terrible familiar with distributors/carbs. First car I've ever had to remove either of them!

When it starts it throttles high and will work, but if you let off the throttle to get down to a normal idle it just dies.

Any thoughts of what it could be? Would a vacuum line issue cause this? I posted photos earlier of the vacuum issues I am having. Did some research and think they may be right, but still dont know.

ya brakes are important, I hope you have figured out that you have a Dana 30 front axle, also with your diff cover off it should have had numbers on the ring gear like 41-11 which would divide out to 3.54 and that would tell you 100% your ratio. Also if still stock your rear should be an AMC with 2 piece axle shafts that eventually will need to be tossed for 1 piece shafts ( much stronger than 2 piece) the AMC20 has a nice round shaped cover to it
