Abram,

I have been running an Edelbrock for a few years and have had no issue. The main thing that you have no idea of is what some a$$hole might have done to your car while it was setting in the body shop. Maybe nothing but who knows.

My thinking, as was said before, there is something in your gas tank, lines, pump, filter or even in your carb that is plugging something up.

Here is what I would do.

Have your carb rebuilt by a professional or just go ahead and buy a new one if you want. Having it rebuilt should be fine though.
Replace the fuel filters

Drop your gas tank and remove all of your flexable lines.Take an air hose and start blowing air into your fuel lines from the engine compartment backwards.

Take your gas tank to a radiator shop and ask them to clean and reseal it on the inside.

Check your fuel pump to be sure it is pumping fuel or just go ahead and replace it.

This seems like a lot but in the end you will KNOW that there is nothing wrong with your fuel system.

Just a thought, I could be wrong.
