got in my mav this arvo and fired her up .. started as normal then got a sqeeling noise from under the rear and started missfiring .. noise seems to be coming from near the fuel tank and sounds like only running on 4 cyl.. idling low at about 300rpm and blackish/grey smoke puffing out the exhaust hmmm... 89 TB42 350holley ... any thoughts??

Do you have a pump to feed the holley? Is it near the fuel tank?
