Ok, so I fixed my huge vacuum leak, my idle is where it is supposed to be and steady, my timing is spot on. However, whenever I hit the gas pedal, she bogs down terribly sometimes to the point of stalling. Any ideas are welcome.

Hmmm. not sure how to test it but the linkage to it may need adjusted

Accel pump test is; remove air cleaner, have someone hit gas for you; look for spray of fuel from the pump nozzles inside the primary bores.

The accelerator pump is functioning correctly, I can replace my filter on payday. However, I don't believe I have to because I had a clear inline filter under the hood and the gas in there was clear. The Air/fuel screw has to be really far out for it to idle correcly, is that really lean or really rich? My next steps, i think, will be a fuel pump volume test and pressure test. I'm running out of options, I may haveto face the idea of getting a new (old) carb...

The screw being that far out means it's trying to run lean. Vacuum leak, maybe?

If it were a vacuum leak, wouldn't I have to adjust the air/fuel screw to richer than normal? I am suspecting too high of fuel pressure, I will test this tonight by disconnecting the fuel pump then revving. It seems more like it's drowning than being too thirsty. I will also throw the vacuum guage on it to try to rule that out.
