Rick, if it is too much line pressure causing the problem, they sell an adjustable valve that will allow you to reduce the pressure. I know it is used with Mustang II front ends, but not sure about the Volare. You might check with Heidts Hot Rod shop. Here is a picture of it.
It might also need a longer pitman arm, but if it worked in the original car, I suspect the Chevy pump makes too much pressure.

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
