You are correct...I'm learning that all the stars must be aligned for one of these cars to perform as intended. I've put the car back to it's previous state as far as I can remember. All angles are still the same and the convertor was cut open/inspected. There was a slight tweak to get a little more stall, but I can't tell any difference in the way it feels. I have yet to change the way I stage/stall the car. I'm beginning to suspect that those carbs were running very rich all along and coupled with good cool air earlier in the year was the reason for the good 60' times then. I guess the summer air was a death blow for the way these carbs are set up. I have one unmolested Edelbrock Q-jet I'm working on atm and will try to set it up very lean for this summer heat.
