howdy yall.
so my first post, dont bash me too much..
i got a 88 350 tbi block and heads with a rpm preformer intake and eldelbrock carb.
fist off.. fires right up.. minor primming needed. runs great revs just fine.. once i put it in gear and take off it starts to stumble around 1500 rpm then its back to running fine again.. i rebuilt the carb thinking thats my issue...and it didnt change a bit.. i checked the fuel pressure ...holding 7lbs on the nose. i replaced my whole distribitor, top to bottom..didnt phase it.. timming at idle is happy around 5 or 6 ...WTF nothing i have done has effected the way its running on the take off..( dead stop to WOT or just normal take off) its the same evey time.
then i noticed a tick...i thought exaust leak... couldnt find it.. maybe a rod...doubt it.. not that kind of KNOCK..rocker arms..so i chek them.. tightened them 3 diffrent times.. zero lash and 1/2 turn... heres the catch... it dosent always tick.. some weeks its ust fine.. then some days it starts up in the am ticking and dose fine in the afternoon....

well sorry for typing out a half a book here jsut im at my last resort. i cant pull the motor just yet but thats my next step i think..
any advice or infor would be great.
