Edelbrock tuning issues

well, lets start with some basics:

have you done a compression check? what is the cranking PSI, that could give us an idea of what kind of compression you have.

what's the over all condition of the motor? slap wore out with a million miles? are there any vacuum leaks? is it sucking oil?

what kind of ignition or distributor does it have?

do you have any way to measure the valve lift at the rocker arm/valve to kind of ascertain what cam you may have.

have you done any additional tuning beyond the carb? messed with the timing, etx?
