A 600 is going to feed a 427 up to about 3500rpm......?

That sounds like a sticking choke.

We are not talking a drag racer here.

Want to bet which will get the car to run better on the street

How about we fix his problem and then debate carburetor size?

Default One problem solved
Decided to change out the plugs this afternoon in anticipation of a carb and timing adjustment this Saturday along with the 500 mile checkup.
Found two plugs...one on each side with virtually no gap. See photo.
Should not run so rich now. Wish I had discovered sooner.
Thanks all!
