Couple of things to consider. First, are we dealing with a real Ford Pinto Holley/Weber? I ask, because Tom also sold a smaller version that was not a Holley/Weber. Or, did you purchase a real 32/36 Weber and not a Ford Pinto Holly Weber? As to 6 pounds of pressure, little too high. Think more like 3-4 pounds of pressure. Float height is critical with these carbs as they do not have a very deep fuel bowl. Direction of the carb is also important. If you take the carb top off you will see the main jets are at the bottom of one side of the fuel bowl. You want the jets toward the firewall so that fuel is moving toward the jets on acceleration and not away from the jets. Having the jets situated toward the front of the motor can leave you with the main jet exposed on acceleration as the fuel sloshes away from the jets, and as the fuel level lowers a bit, as opposed to flowing toward the jets.
May I ask whose electric fuel pump you are using? And yes, Jammer brings up another critical point that you should check.
