At that point I wasn't using the wideband anymore to chase this problem. I left the wideband on just for WOT and tuning about 3k RPM, and I think I got it pretty close. Plugs look good now, even when I cut them apart, and I took the wideband off.
Lippy,
I just picked up theis thread after doing some researching to solve similar problems to yours. I have just installed a new 468 shelby stroker with dual quads and a fairly large cam/overlap. Runs fine under load, but surges like hell below 2,500rpm, part throttle cruise and runs-on after ignition off. I am considering to get a wideband to help me tune the carb, but your point about increasing the initial timing is interesting. I'm at around 15degrees initial and 36 Total.

Did you solve the run-on problem by increasing the initial advance or something else?

Thanks
Stuart
