Id check the wiring around the bulkhead for any wear. If those were warm compression numbers, its ok. Go through the electrics with a fine toothed comb.
 
I bought an MSD ignition coil and removed the accel one that was installed and noticed an oil leak from my oil pressure gage line. The coil was a bit covered in oil. I was wondering if anyone one knew what the piece in this picture was. I didn't notice it was installed and I removed it and didn't even check which side it was connected to. Does anyone know what this is and if I even need it? which side does it go on?

Looks like a filter to reduce ignition noise in the stereo?
 
Yup... RFI capacitor, it would go on the negative post of the coil if i recall right. The pressure readings are good... So I agree, look thru the ignition and carb. I dont believe in swapping carbs because they don't work for a reason or another. The Edelbrocks are good carbs, but need to be set up, and like any other carb, are subject to sudden changes from Murphy's law...lol.
 
Ignition Coil swapped and now she's running fine after a quick carb adjustment. So, I've swapped the Ignition box, ignition coil, ballast resistor and fuel filter, but now she's running great. Thanks for all your help guys.
