    AQ225 idles good, dies with some throttle

    Hello all, I have a 1986 AQ225D, with a quadrajet I just purchased re-manufactured off ebay. I just replaced the fuel filter, fuel pump, starter, and alternator. I have set the timing to 8* and triple checked it multiple times. It starts and idles great! But if I give it any gas, it falls...
