JOEL LOFLIN, KENEDY, TX, 1969 DODGE CORONET 360

Dear Rick, I am writing on behalf of my son. He has a 1969 Coronet station wagon, 360 (1 yr old reman'd long block}, Edelbrock intake and carb, electronic ign., stock exhaust and manifolds. The engine had been running rough when accelerating but eventually smoothed out. I suspected vacumn advance. He applied suction (oral) on hose at carb end, resulted in no change in RPM. He installed a new MP dist. and it seemed ok. Now it runs rough all of the time. He had the vac adv hose hooked to a carb port that was pulling strong vacumn all of the time. If he unhooks the hose it runs better. If he covers the port with his finger it runs rough again. I told him to hook the hose to the other port. It still runs rough. He looked down the throat of the carb and noticed fuel dripping down the venturis. I think he has junk in the needle/seat and it is possible he has the timing/idle settings off. What do you think?
