RE: My 350 is angry at me/why wont it stay running?
It sounds like we are talking about a carbureted engine, correct??? If this is so, once you get it started take your hand and place it over the carburetor, like you are trying to choke the engine, allow the engine to go back to idle. If it starts to smooth out the more you choke it then it would sound like you have a big vaccumm leak.
If the rockers were too tight it would be popping back through the carb.
You do need to check the timing to see if you are somewhere in range and at least set it at 10 degrees, at as low an idle as you can, till you get a grip on what every the problem is.
