i have just completed my 231 to 327 swap im not sure wats going on with it i know everything as for plugs and wireing are all right it was in a car with i got it and it runs like it should now it just dont not have any power wat so ever and at high rpm it back fires i know i droped the dis. right i put i timing light to it and got nuthing out of it still runs the same the mixture screw on the carb. are 1 1/2 out if anyone can give me some good help to sovle my problem
 
When I have trouble, I think of my first day of auto shop class in high school: "Engines need air, fuel and spark."

Might be missing, running on seven?
As for low power; a little less than you expected or "the car barely moves" type?
Black smoke?
Did you change heads?
Does it fire right up or crank forever?

details! details! details!
 
its like the car has know power white smoke when there is any 650 edelbrock i tryed moving all wire back one or front one to see if its droped one tooth of but still nuthing i just dont see why it runs as it does
 
Okay, I understand you have white smoke. Have you checked the water level in the radiator? Was it low?

You will need to tell us all the things you can think about this.
