Hey everyone I could use some wisdom here. I have an 8BA with an isky 400jr cam, thickstun pm7 intake and two fully rebuilt stromberg 97’s and the new stromberg e fire 8BA distributor set to 10° timing. Plugs are b-6 jets are 43’s with 67 power valves at 3000ft elevation. Not running progressive linkage. Fuel pressure is set to 2.5LBS

Issue is new to me as it didn’t do it before. Engine fires and idles perfect however if I attempt to rev it up the engine wants to die and falls flat on its face and smokes black. If I choke one of the carbs 1/2-3/4 and try to rev it up it responds great and revs right up. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.
