There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

try checkin accel pump - might be gettin wimpy - dem 283's like a good shota juice to jump up and roar - look inside carb for junk from rusty tank that might interfer w/ float needle - check carb inlet screen thingy

Second, look for vacuum leaks. Actually, maybe do that first. 8-) Got a Mityvac or similar? Check every hose and
line. Then do the spray-while-running (w/ carb cleaner), listen for RPM changes.
Third, carefully dismantle and clean the carb. Check it for airleaks around the butterfly bores.
Good luck!
