hi guys helping out a friend with a 440 charger, engine is a fresh stock build it has a brand new out of the box edelbrock thunder series 650 cfm carb.timing is at 14 degrees(vac disconnected)car idles ok but seems very rich like burning your eyes rich the i think the problem may be the inlet manifold(torker11)and not a dual plane is what i think should be installed,could this intake cause this sort of issue??thoughts input would be appreciated cheers guys

What Cam ? Like a completely "stocK" cam ?
and
What PISTONS ? in the fresh "stock" build ?

The Torker II may indeed be a little large in the plenum area for good distribution/A/F velocity with the small Cam ?

First guess guess, vacuum leak.
