With all of that carburetion, you need to spool up the RPM to realize any gain with that setup on a 235.
Not saying that you may not have another issue going on, but a setup which gives you 2200 RPM at 70 MPH is not a great starting point.
1952 5-window - return to "as built" condition | 1950 3100 with a 235 and a T-5 transmission
