Classic over carburetion problem?

Because of my lack of experience on getting this kind of information we better give up for now. I don't want to waist your guys time anymore. I don't think things are as bad as I thought for one thing. I won't have to a switch the converter and gear ratios to get a burnout out of it but I do hate that vacuum secondary carb, I think it's going for a 650 or 750 DP mechanical secondary ..end

Richie, just get two basic tools and you can answer both important questions and do most of the tuning yourself. A good timing light and a compression gauge. Practice around with them. You have an old car, so you need them and need to learn to use them anyway. We ain't goin anywhere.
