Simon,

I doubt that it's the carb itself. My experience with these 500 Edelbrocks is that if they are getting insufficient fuel, usually at WOT, then they just lose power and die with no misfire. Certainly these carbs seem to tolerate less than ideal jetting without too much complaint. Unless the carb has been tampered with I don't think that will be causing the misfire.

Did you ever get it running properly after your heat soak problems? Or have we got an ongoing saga here?

Under what circumstances do you get the misfire? And what sort of misfire is it?

Cheers
