"As i wait for my new carbs from tom to arrive i still think im going down the wrong road. Something tells me I am going to have this same fuel issue.....but i could be wrong. Reading like crazy for the last week i have found so many who are happy with a 4small 4 barrel manifold that allows them to use a more current carb that has jets readily available allowing them to make adjustments easily."

Wolffcub - if you wish to go with a 4 barrel, that is certainly your choice; however:
There are many older carburetors for which calibrations are available. These would include, but are not limited to the following:
Carter - W-1, WA-1, YF
Holley - 1904, 1920
Rochester - B
Stromberg - B
Zenith - 28, 228
Should you go with a 4 barrel, you basically have only 2 choices:
Carter - AFB part numbers either 9400 or 9410 (scarce and expensive)
Holley - 390 CFM (part number unknown)
One other suggestion:
We have found the dial type pressure regulators available from your local auto parts store that sell from 24.95 to 39.95 to be exceptionally useful if you have a strong right arm, and a rabbit problem in your garden.
If you are going to use a regulator, get one of the good Holley units that are in the ball park of $100. each.
Another option other than the regulator is a return line.
