Ed, no argument from me on the tuning problem. It is the solution that is proving elusive. Though Billy Andrews could have probably resolved this issue blind-folded....
But not as if I have been unwilling to throw $$ at it by deferring to experts. Once this issue began last Summer, I started to ask around for recommendations for a local shop. I was hesitant, but I followed the consensus feedback and took the car to a local shop claiming to specialize in 60s muscle cars. I didnt balk at the sizable quote for time on the dyno etc to tune the carb. Thing is, the shop never put the car on the dyno. They fiddled with the carb etc. I still got hit with a sizable bill, more than your estimate. And I didnt even get any time on the dyno.
So, believe me. I take your point. My incremental troubleshooting is far from ideal. At best, this is Plan C. Which is why I am so grateful to all here for the guidance. And patience. Hopefully something here also helps the next person that finds themselves in my situation.
