Mike,

This is not that uncommon if you are talking about a slight breakup with no load on the engine. This is due to the high vacume when in neutral or cruising at a high rpm in a low gear with no load. I would guess that the car runs fine under load or hard acceleration if it is the typical scenario.

I have a carbed 302 with the Duraspark ignition and the MSD 6A box and have the exact same problem, but under normal driving, you don't experience it. I only see this problem if I am holding the car in gear way too long at part throttle. The car should pull really strong all the way to redline with no miss when you are on it and the vacume drops off.

By the way, what cam are you running, what lift?

Ed
