Hey guys, I think I have a combination of issues. I rotated the distrib. clockwise a bit, and it had better throttle response, went to far and it sounded like the valves rattled on a higher end. I rotated back to a happy medium, less lag and still nice on the top end.

I think the carb needs tuned to Colorado altitude also.

While idling (very smoothly) if I slam the accelerator linkage it waits a second with nothing then steadily ramps up in rpm's. Sounds great, but that hesitation is not what I'm looking to get. Now I know this is not a Fuel Injected motor, but it's healthy with nice pieces on it. With the 3.23's it should be good gear wise. Definitely feel the difference when cruising around, very responsive in the upper RPM's, just initial stomp of the pedal is lag.

I'm thinking the Primary jetting might be off, there are 3 items to consider here, the jet, the metering rod, and the Primary springs, I might buy a kit for the Edelbrock Performer 1406 600 CFM electric choke carb.

I just cannot decide if I'm lean or fat on fuel.

I'm going to take the previous advise and adjust the pump link as Sixstarved suggested, this will dump fuel for a longer or shorter duration depending on the setting.

I appreciate all advise. This is a nice setup, I'm just not a Carb tuner, Holley, Edelbrock, etc...., I have no preference as yet, and I've dealt with both. The Edelbrock tuning book is a good read, kind of leaves me in the dust though.
