How many cubic inches is the motor? The motor is rebuilt, did you over size the bore? If so, how much?
What is the motor doing to not run right? What are you doing to the carb that has everybody scratching their heads? Is the intake manifold stock? Please give more information on the motor symptoms--the more info the better...
