I had this samn problem a couple of months ago, started up cold and ran terrible like on 4 cyl. turned it off, 2 hours later started it and it ran fine again. Is your problem constant even at operating temp?

on the intake of the EL falcons there is a idle valve and sometimes they get a bit of s**t in them and they run like crap. just spray the inside of the intake at the idle valve with some carby cleaner and give it a light rub with your finger and spray the carbon off. this is a common problem with mine :lol:
