Re: WCFB carb problem. Oil pressure ?
May be helpful, maybe not (Grumpy said that to me once!), although we run dual WCFBs, we finally wound up at 14.5 lbs fuel pressure, cured a problem like yours and dying at launch FWIW

When we ran one of those on our 55 ss car we ran 15-18 pounds of fuel pressure.

Re: WCFB carb problem. Oil pressure ?
U might also want to check float level and make sure that the float is centered in the float bowl not touching the sides of the bowl at all. They were known to do that as well
