1967 Dodge Dart 270

Did some more tweaking on the engine last night. Replaced the vacuum lines for the choke pull off and vacuum advance. Vacuum went up from 16 to 18. Going to pick up a new line for the PCV as well once I get a chance. Went back through and did lifter preload again just to be sure they were all set properly. Think I got it right the third time. Took off the carb and tore it down to check the float level, needle, and seat. It is weeping at the top of the bowl and bogs when accelerating from idle. Float has no holes in it and is set correctly and needle and seat are in good condition and functioning. I adjusted the accelerator pump for a longer stroke and that made a bit of a difference, it wasn't bogging as hard or as long. I can hear the big suck in of air when I hit the accelerator and the squirters are instant. I have been reading that several Carter BBD owners have this issue after a rebuild. Will probably change out the carb....to a 4bbl if everything goes well. Got a long weekend coming up so time to get the crane again and hopefully, get through the alternator bearings and transmission rebuild and get it all back in the car.
