Carb is too lean, Common problem with Edelbrock. Buy a primary metering spring kit.

Dude, I had this exact same problem. 350 engine and the Edel 4b carb.
I was looking every where online for answer's and basically it could be anything from lack of fuel to timing to the advance on the carb. I tried everything, then i pulled off the valve covers and noticed one of the rocker arms wasn't moving. i turned the nut in the center one full turn and booooom it ran like a champ!!!!
I bet if u pull the covers thats your problem... Tag: What causes Backfire with an Edelbrock 4 barrel carb?
