Pulled the no.1 plug. Car hesitates alot and backfires a little sometimes under part throttle. Fuel is 6.5psi and timing is 14• at idle.

I would say "No!" they have some soot on them, I'd change them and put some regular old autolites and check all your cap/rotor wires as well. let us know if it runs better afterwards?

Wasn't sure if you had any numbers at 3K or not. Seems like it's a little hot too. My experience has been about 10* at idle, but every car is different. Rev it to 3K and check your total timing and make sure it's not too high.

Great choice of carbs. Got one on the beast. Best carb I've ever had. Glad your car is running better though.
