            also since they had swaped carbs did they change ignition module and distributor? many of these old dodges got switch over to GM HEI. it works great unless some one did a poor job when doing the rewire. if you don’t know just take some pics and post them.

                I’d also like to add that if you have known vacuum leak problems the engine won’t idle right, I would recommend you fix those and then recheck for your idle problems._x000D_
