the car runs good most of the time. thats why im thinking linkage or something. it had the carbs installed back in 84 with the appropriate engine mods. im guessing. it only hesitates and runs strange at 3500 and up in 1st gear only. 2,3,4,5 are fine. plenty of power up to 5500. i notice it in parking lot situations . gas it hard and let off. spin tires etc. the car likes to be driven like that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Smaller venturis should help with the off idle transition. If the venturis are too large, you don't get enough air velocity when you get on the main jets.

I had the exact same problem on my 2056. Went to smaller venturis and voila, flat spot gone ...
