Bogged down While In Gear And Sputtered During Acceleration

If the tank is passing crud it could have took out your fuel pump. It might pump enough to idle but not keep the bowlful at load. Plus edelbrocks are known to be more sensitive to dirt. Even though you cleaned it doesn't mean something still isn't clogged. Do you have a second carb to test to eliminate that issue? A filter befor the pump would protect it, I never understood why they never filtered before the pump.....
