I have correct fuel pressure and vac is good. Hot spark. Took carb apart a few times for possible trash. So far none of that.

Are you running a fuel pressure regulator? I think its critical to good carb performance. What I like about my regulator is that it holds pressure in the system. After sitting a week or two, one pump to set the choke and cranks right up. Having AMC Fun, Ollie |

Edelbrocks come set up fairly rich, especially auto chokes. Mostly geared to V-8's and generally rich is better. But so easy to change.... Having AMC Fun, Ollie |

5spd... Dunno what to tell you bro. By all accounts that though should be performing flawlessly. Again, accelerator pump MIGHT be something to look at.
Ollie, MY problem was back when I was working on carbs, it was in Georgia trying to get the cars to comply with emissions (smog) laws. Kids would get cars that still required testing (75 or newer), slap an Edelbrock on there, do some other "bad" stuff and then bring it into the shop after they failed an EMI test heinously. Edelbrock is a great street performance carb. Not so great for passing smog though, esp when the car owner has tried to be sly and disable all the other smog control equipment and gut the converter. Back in the day, I was damned good at tuning a carb via the 4 gas analyzer on a Sun 2 Interrogator though. Done right, you could get good performance and still pass an EMI inspection. |

Mine has reclining seats but there are no braces on them other than what’s on all seats. |

So that means I can recline the seats without any external braces and it won't affect the mechanism in the seats I'm asking because I don't have the seats put back in the car yet and I don't want to break the reclining mechanism if I do happen to recline a seat down
