Sounds like you might have an air leak in the fuel line. or #1 plug is loose.

Went to Walt Knuckles web site and what a great amount of info. I installed a new vacuum advance and it seemed to help but now I am going to use Walts method to see if valve lash mighat be a problem as well. Sounds like the "Y" block needs adjusting more often thant other engines!
Cant tell you guys what a great help you have been and the "T" Bird forum has been VERY helpful for me on many items.
Thanks again.

The one thing that I hadn't checked was the timing. I put a timing light on it and it was severely out of time. Now it idles smoother than it ever had. I had put plugs etc. but had never checked the timing! Simple solution but effective.
