87 Cutlass Salon 307 wont idle....

When my car was acting like that it was the intake manifold going bad, then next thing that went out was the fuel pump. The car will still run several times w/ the fuel pump going bad before it finally doesn't work anymore.

The intake itself or the gaskets?

both, same time. I'm sure by now you fixed the issue?

Yea, sorry for not updating this in a while(life). I never could get it figured out, and after rebuilding the carb i finally gave up and bought one.
A friend of mine recommended www.guaranteedcarburetors.com . Said he'd bought a few over the years and never had any trouble. I was amazed that i could get another one for about $200. I was expecting 300-400 really. Say they run them before they ship them, and believe it or not after i got it hooked up, she fired right up. Seems to be doing ok, but i would like to get a dwell meter and check this one to see what it is running at. Maybe i can fine tune it a little.
