This is a '60, NOM 350. After getting all my other issues ironed out, I had two days of the car running better than it ever has, and probably as good as I can ask it to. Then yesterday when starting it, it idled fine for a couple of minutes, then before it got to operating temp, it started stumbling, the revs decreased, and it was smoking from the exhaust pretty good.
I removed the air filter, and after I turned it off, noticed a large amount of gas dripping down into the throats of the front two barrels which I didn't see while it was still running (Edelbrock 1406, electric choke). The choke appears to have opened normally, and If I turn the idle mixture screws clockwise, the revs increase until the screws are seated, exactly the opposite of expected behavior during normal operation, right? What gives?
