Hey Matt, Check something for me. I just got done undoing this one. The 560 shop car needed a chain soooooo, I rolled a new chain and guides in it. In the process of 458 distractions I missed the l/h cam by one tooth. Car idled a lot like yours once warm and ran a lot like yours hot. Once I took and popped the valve covers off and looked I just dropped the tensioner and moved it a tooth. Runs like a top now. (hey we all have our moments)

It would be worth a look anyway. Just pop the valve covers, put it on TDC and see where the cams are in relation to the tdc marks on the bearing towers. Might be the culprit. I still dont think the car needs a fuel head.


Joe
