Update 10/28:

Sorry for the delay.

It turns out that some of the valve seats, as well as some valves in the heads were bad.  i had the heads rebuilt:  magnafluxed, boil/steam cleaned (not sure of the correct term?), new valve seats installed, a few new valves installed.

Engine runs better than ever:  Idles in neutral @700, in gear @500-600.  Normal for once....

BTW,  Malcolm Durham's SuperCar Automotive did  the work;   Just out of sheer chance and for non-automotive reasons, about a month ago, i bumped into Don Durham-----who i learned is Malcolm Durham's brother.   Don now runs the shop.

But that sheer chance meeting gave me the idea to get them to fix the problem.  Who better to fix it?

i apologize for blaming the carb.  It had nothing to do with it.
