Default motor issues

o.k.....who can give me some direction.I have a '69 350/350..there are issues with motor.Came with a Holley,got talked into a Demon Road carb.Constantly fouling out plugs,runs way too rich.Is it a matter of just jetting down?The timing also seems to be off as it is a hard start.How much should I really be expecting to get out of this motor?The cam was recently replaced,I do not know exactly with which model.Iam a novice at this so any direction would greatly appreciated.Looking forward to corresponding with fellow members...thanks!

Welcome to the Forum, Joe. While I can not help you with your question, I can suggest you post your question over in the C3 section where you will find fellow members with vettes similar to yours.

If you get into the C3 forum, Look up some of Lars' posts. You'll quickly see he is a master and very helpful. Many others as well, but you'll see posts begging for his input.

Good luck!!!!
