    I had problems with fuel pressure above 5.5lbs, try setting your regulator lower as suggested above and reset your floats (mine were out of adjustment from too high pressure). Also, have you checked for a vacuum leak?, a vacuum leak can make the metering circuit too rich.

    Some helpful info;

    Thanks guys for all the replies, sorry about not getting back sooner to thank everyone. I just relocated to Conroe tx, I'm all settled in and ready to start working on the car again.
    Again thanks for all the help and I will let you guys know what I decide to do.
    It may be the cheapest to start out by trying out Glenn's method.(thanks for laying it out so clear for me)
    If I'm still having issues I'll try out the quadrajet
