Improving acceleration using 2bbl Carburetor?

I have to go with TJ on this by chance was it changed with a store rebuilt? Can be as easy as it having the wrong curve in it.
Great minds think alike. :)

The other thing most mechanics won't have is the tune up specs. Even if they have service like Alldata, it usually only goes back to mid 70s.
And the initial timing, as well carb tuning for a '66 225 is way different than a '75.
My suggestion is to clean things up so you can find the tab or stamped numbers and see what distributor and carb is on the engine.

If you want some general background these cover the basic concept
