Okay, changed the power valves to 3.5. 100% better off the line. Right by 1800 no problem. night and day difference. However, yes, there is always a however. It stil does not like to cruise in that slightly open position.

I will put the vac gauge on it tomorrow and the O2 sensor and getting readings of both in all throttle positions (idle, cruising [cracked open], 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and WOT) and send the carb and all the data to AED and hope for the best. I just don't think I know enough or have time to keep messing with it.

I understand my cam won't make it easy, but the car did not do this before, so I don't know what is going on.

thanks for all the help. once this is all resolved, I'll post back.
