how to correct this, this car has not ran in 7 years I finally got it started last night, i added new premium gas and I added a can of Seafoam, worked on in it for about 3 weeks to prime the old gas out, and once I got it started this is what I notice.

yah that would do it, easily.
what kind of s/c you running? how much boost, if you know?

you need to figure out if its rich or lean. do you smell gas out of the exhaust?

You are prolly running lean if your SC and have stock injectors. I would definatly get it tuned and put some larger injectors in it.

i'd go at least 30# to be safe. you are going to have to pay to tune it, at a dyno tuner. the tuner might recommend 42#. call and ask first. tell him the situation.
