I am about to pull my hair out right now. I have a 78' 360ci in my '72 Charger right now. Originally when my dad purchased the car it had the stock 318ci in it but he swapped it out for this rebuilt 360ci with a 600 CFM Edelbrock 1406 4 barrel carb. We got it all tuned up when I was in high school and never had a tuning issue again. Recently I got this car shipped to me after 10 years of sitting at my parents house. The work I have done so far to the car is obviously all fluids changed, new fuel lines from the tank all the way to the carb, new mechanical fuel pump as the old one broke, and rebuilt the carb using the rebuild kit from Edelbrock. After doing all this a ran the car around the block to check and it and it ran like I was back in high school. After this I replaced the tires changed the oil again and did some smaller stuff like replacing lights that were burnt out. Once I did this took it around the block again and now I have what looks to be a well known problem with Edelbrocks but with a not so known of a fix. When going from a complete stop at idle to accelerating the engine bogs down big time almost to the point of choking out until what seems like the engine catches up and revs the engine almost to the point of spinning the tires. From what I can find online is that many times the accelerator pump is normally the issue. With the rebuild kit from Edelbrock it comes with a new accelerator pump which I used and it ran great one time only. Any ideas on what this might be? I am at loss and would appreciate any help.
