DId you replace the gaskets on the intake? You'd be surprised how new intake gaskets could make a difference...

What is doing, does it seem to rough or does it just not idle??? Will it idle if you give it gas?

GASKETS TEND TO SWELL WHEN WARMED UP CHECK FOR INTAKE MANIFOLD LEAK. TRY SPRAYING CARB CLEANER WHILE RUNNING LISTENING FOR MISSFIRE.
