I'm no expert here Dave but just a couple of thoughts of stuff that I've run
into over the years. What kind of manifold is your carb mounted on? Twice
I've bought Mopars that had an Edelbrock carb mounted on a stock manifold.
Once it was on an very early manifold and the other time it was on a later
TQ manifold. In both cases the butterflies were hitting the manifold
preventing them from opening all the way. I solved the problem by using an
adaptor (spacer) Have you checked your linkage adjustment to see if your
getting wide open throttle? I've run into that a few times too where the
cable wasn't adjusted right and I wasn't getting WOT with the pedal to the
floor. Are you using an electric choke and is it opening all the way? I
believe there's a lock in the linkage (at least there was on the old AFB's)
that will prevent the secondary from opening if the choke isn't open all the
way.
