massive reconfiguration time again.

Well the 42 nozzles came in with my order early today. I tried those and not really getting much success here. The car does run good and rolls into the throttle well but say you're doing about 35 in third gear you let off and just punch it, it falls completely on his face.. then takes off like a bat out of hell...
I tried turning the timing up a couple degrees from 33 to 35. Which brought it from 19 to 21 initial.. I tried going from the yellow Springs to the Orange Springs. I tried another quarter turn tighter on the secondary doors when I finally went ahead and hook back up the secondaries. I started before I put the nozzles on with a higher setting on the accelerator pump that didn't work.
I'm starting to worry if these 2 in spacers are killing me. I mean the cross ram back in the day I'm sure had fine throttle response? It is some 14 to 16 inches between the squirters and the cylinder...
Thinking my next step might be just to order even bigger squirters. I think they go up to .047...
I'm thinking about trying to take the spacers out and see what happens. I'm thinking about throwing my old carbs on and seeing what happens. Time is running out today and tomorrow it will be rainy.
