Re: RUNNING ON
Check float height, and potentially lower your idle a little if you can.

Re: RUNNING ON
What ignition system are you running?
Re: RUNNING ON
electronic i had the same setup on my old motor worked fine i only reused my carb but the cam is quite a bit larger 223/224 duration and 507 lift im thinking maybe pv and jets are too small im only getting about 5 vac on my holley vac guage if i ramp up timing i get pinging under accel but maybe its too lean

Re: RUNNING ON
Some electronic systems can cause run on by retaining a small current build up, also you can have this issue with plugs that are in the wrong heat range, so what plugs do you have?
Re: RUNNING ON
number 6 in heat range ngk
Re: RUNNING ON
idle too high?/ bit lean maybe.

Re: RUNNING ON
it was suggested that my pv is to small 6.5 as im only getting about 5" of vacum at idle it may be fueling up
Re: RUNNING ON
Fueling up shouldn't cause run-on, but happy to be proven wrong.
It's usually a timing/lean/idle speed issue.
It's essentially pre-ignition, so the causes are often the same and being rich is generally not one of the causes.

Re: RUNNING ON
changed the pv and reset the carb while off the idle slot was open to far but i cracked the back ones a little and closed the front ones up seemed to work but still dies off after idling for a while the more it idles the worse it gets like running out of fuel blip the gas and it springs back into life, drives fine to just wont hold an idle for long,
Re: RUNNING ON
seem to have the run on sorted but idle new issuei wonder if the pump is to light for the job

Re: RUNNING ON
Wow 5in. vacuum, doesn't seem a lot, you must be running a big cam or you have a vacuum leak somewhere. Try spraying some carb cleaner around the carb and manifold.

Re: RUNNING ON
checked for leaks doesn't seem to be any vac issues unless it coming form the bottom of the valley gasket ill try to upload a video tomorrow
Re: RUNNING ON
gapped plugs at 35 tested for vac leaks played with tyiming a bit
