You say it stutters and misses when you hit the gas. Is that a temporary situation that then smoothes out or does it continue to miss and sputter under load? If it continues, I'd say it's more likely an ignition problem as opposed to a carb problem.

I'd start with the basics. Make sure you have all the plug wires in the correct firing order. Double check the timing (both initial and total). My FE likes lots of intial advance. I'm at about 25 initial and 40 total. Not sure what kind of distributor you're running but if you're using points, double check the point gap.
