      On a moderately built 305 with a Performer EPS intake manifold . This   
   thing runs like a scalded cat , did everything I wanted - except idle .   
   No matter what I did it would idle for a few seconds then just stumble   
   and die . Turns out that the spacer under the carb was the problem . I   
   had to use a spacer in order to have a vacuum port for the brake booster   
   since this carb doesn't have a port on the back . Turns out that because   
   the spacer is open without a center rib (and the manifold has one) it   
   causes problems with the idle circuits . The solution turned out to be   
   getting a spacer that has 4 holes instead of the open one . The new   
   spacer didn't have a vacuum port ... but it had enough meat to drill and   
   tap for one . And now the truck idles in gear without dying . I haven't   
   driven it yet to see if it runs differently on the road , but I don't   
   expect any significant change in performance .
