Tried again
I removed the edelbrock, hot tanked the original cast 305 intake from the dead motor. Installed it with new gaskets, put it all back together and tried again. Same problem. I researched breaking in this engine and standard method is to start it and hold it at 2000 rpm for 25-30 minutes. This is going to drive my neighbors crazy so I am going to do it tomorrow just before lunch when most of them are at work. I will then mess around with the idle mix screws and see if the break in made any major differences.
Dammit, another good ol boy gone. Condolence to the family. RIP Mike
