For some reason my car will not idle right away I have to give it gas alot of time to get it going I broke my accufab throtle bottle and it was a 70mm now I have a 65mm Edelbrock and it ain't been right every since does it have something to do with the size of the throttle body or do I have a vacume leak or something somewhere....
