I have an 84 gmc sierra classic 1500 350 v8 holly 600 4 barrel carburetor. When it's idiling it runs fine when shifted into gear it starts idiling rough when I press the accelerater it starts to spit and spudder and hesitates to go. I've already tried replacing the spark plugs and wires distributor cap and rotor. And just rebuilt the carburetor.
