Ian - Thanks for the suggestions. I will adjust the jet to make it richer and see if this helps. The needle is fitted to the piston correctly so I can rule that out. The charts show the EB has a richer profile than the GG so, as suggested by yourself and Spannerman, I can go back to it. I'll also check the damper function as Alan pointed out.
Ian, other than open out the inlet tract on the manifold and smooth the curves at the base of the throat, there is little different to the standard set up. The block has been rebored to .060, all valves and valve gear renewed, and it was running very well. The electronic distributor pick-up gave up the ghost while trying to overcome this problem, but the manual distributor has been refitted and works well.
Hugh, points and plug gaps were set at .015" and .025", but it has since been suggested gaps of .012-.014" for the points and .020 for the plugs might be better.
It looks like the consensus is forming around the fuel side. I think I have an AN needle as well, but I should get it idling and running before I begin experimenting.
Austin, the pump is working well. I think I can rule that part of the system out. Thanks.
