Reply to "Engine hard starting won't idle long"

i had a Holley on my Corvette and remember there are protection valves for the power valve . Some kind of one-way valve which closes on a blow back. Should check indeed your ignition....fouled plugs ? i had the experience that my ignition system ( should check brand but think original ) needs voltage , not amps... with a bad alternator i can start the engine perfect without any notice of something but the 12V from the battery isn't enough to run revs....it needs the 14+Volts from the alternator.
