Thanks for sharing your wealth of experience Jack. After a lot of research, I arrived at the same conclusion. The spread-bore intake has to go, and I'll use a Performer intake with a Holley 600 cfm vacuum secondary carb with an electric choke.
The other lesson learned during this project? Remove the engine deck lid; it is easy to do, and your lower back will thank you for a long time! Too bad I didn't figure that out before crawling in/out, in/out, in/out (ad nauseum) for a few days.
