And de-acceleration.

The trouble here is that everyone has different ideas and theories of how the system is supposed to work.You ask questions to try and diagnose and there is no answer.

The system works on a modified (continually) manifold vacuum signal The 1956 DUAL DIAPHRAM was HOLLEY's last attempt to correct problems. DUAL ADVANCE was introduced the following model year.

Sounds like the OP found the problem in the accel linkage.
