Thats what ive been working on tooSecondary side is the likely problem.

I'll do thatPut the idle bleeds back where you started and see what happens.

No it's not a tip in issueBased on his description, it does not sound like a tip-in issue.
No, im running mechanical advance distributor. And ive messed with everything electrical and it still does it. And I dont have a tip in stumble, it stumbles when I go from cruise to wot to stab the throttle.I believe 90% of carb issues are ignition caused. I have a tip in stumble. I have had time to work it out. But I am running manifold vacuum advance to get a quality idle. When I open the throttle vacuum drops timing decreases and it stumbles. My attempt will be to shorten centrifugal advance, limit vacuum advance. Hopefully then timing won’t fall off so fast thus eliminating stumbles. Could this apply in your situation?
Single plane M1 intakeIs the intake a dual plane or single plane?
And conversely, 90% of ignition issues are carburetor caused.I believe 90% of carb issues are ignition caused.

Floats are half way up the sight glass. It has a consistent 6 lbs of fuel pressure and never dropsAs said it could be a lot of things. Try raising the fuel bowl levels 1/8 inch and see if it changed anything. Also check you fuel pressure, do this first.
Its stumbled with 5 other carburetors in the past, from a 750 double pump carb to my current 950 double pump carb.If you have a visible pressure gauge to watch and the pressure maintained 6psi during heavy throttle but the afr jumps 16-17:1 i'd think there's a restriction somewhere/gauge is wrong or calibration is way off.
Simple test is try another carb.
What fuel pump/ filter/ fuel lines, etc?Its stumbled with 5 other carburetors in the past, from a 750 double pump carb to my current 950 double pump carb.
Holley black pump, aeromotive canister filter before the pump, then another filter after the pump. #10 fuel line from cell to pump all the way to pressure regulator. Return line is also #10.What fuel pump/ filter/ fuel lines, etc?
How are the secondaries set up? I plug the power valve, and add the screw in jet extensions with the notched rear fuel bowl float. Then jet up about 4-6 steps from the front jets.Its stumbled with 5 other carburetors in the past, from a 750 double pump carb to my current 950 double pump carb.
