I know that can be a sign of a lean condition. I would recomend that you go to http://www.corvettefaq.com and read the papers writting by Lars on tunning your carb, very well written.

I'd start by checking the plugs.If they look OK then run a compression check.If the car has been sitting a long while,try some fresh gas.
Good luck!
