I'm not sure about the kit, it was rebuilt by someone who for whatever reason stopped providing support before I was able to get it dialed in. It was already sent back once. I'm not throwing them under the bus, I don't know their situation, they've bent over backwards prior to now.
Which is why Hillbilly's post is concerning, not sure I would know how to identify mismatched sections - and maybe they are, which is why I'm no longer getting support.
Thanks guys,
Ernie

I bet it was an over-the-counter kit and the accelerator pump is the culprit. Just my take. ;)

No. I built it and used Cliff's parts. We have spoke again.
I have suggested a heat shield gasket under the quadrajet to offset some heat. It could be that the fuel is heating and boiling from the heat of WOT runs. He had reported that the tune was close after the APT installed.

There you go then. Not sure what could be the problem then, as I know you built it correctly. Especially using Cliff's kit. I hope you both get it figured out! 8)
Cliff Ruggles:
It's difficult to offer help or advice since the carb was commercially "remanufactured" at some point. They are the most difficult to get working correctly, and very often as mentioned they do NOT have the correct top and bottom in place, and they do a host of other things to them during the rebuilding process to make them difficult if not sometimes impossible to get working correctly.
I've pulled my hair out on enough of those units to know to avoid them......Cliff
