dropped in a 305small block into my 70 chevelle for temp use untill i get my desired engine. the block has some mods do to it but it wont idle in park. if i flutter the gas it will run. if i keep my foot one the gas to make it idle, it will but then die like there was no spark but will refire. any suggestions will be well thanked.

Sounds like something in the idle circuit. By pumping the pedal you are giving it fuel through the accelerator pump and not the idle circuit. What kind of carb?
