I suspect you've probably got an exhaust lobe on the cam wiping out. Remove the valve covers and observe carefully the action of the rockers at a slow idle. You'll probably find one that has way less action then the rest. Frank
The Wallace Racing website has a guide for where to find the engine ID number and how to interpret it. http://www.wallaceracing.com/engine1.htm
