I took the car for a ride vacum hose from under the rear carb ,over the windsheild and vacum gauge hanging form passenger grab handle.With engine running the lowest vacumwas 9 any thing like maintaining speed ,was even higher.But as you said I had a rich idle or something .You could tell it was starting to miss a little and even when we got home and it was running ruff it could hold 8.I called Quick Fuel Techknology and they insist that maybe a 4.5,Not to go any higher.But it is running rich enough to foul plugs.It just took longer this time.And that is another thing.What plugs are you using ? Mine came with Boush Platinums.When I tried these years ago in a Land Cruiser they fouled faster than any plugs I had tried before or since.For the Land Cruiser I ended up with NGKs.I may end up drilling the throttle plates yet.I'm wondering about the jets .As I remember I'm running 68s, the carbs were to have come from the factory with 67s When I brought it from Reno it had 64s But emmissions said it had a lean misfire resulting in high unburnt hydocarbons.I'm almost lost .what direction to go next and I have to put every thing away ,empty and clean the garage for canning next weekend.Had a tree cut down ,Got all the woodmsplit and hauled tp camping lot. not I have to remove the stump next to the hot tub gazebo.The roots are as big as the tree.And I have to help my son roof and side his new garage.No moss on this rolling stone.
