289 Hesitation
My 289 motor is running good except for annoying hesitation 
while accelerating of course. I put a tank of hi octane in and it seemed to help but did not eliminate it. I have not gone into the carb, a Holley 570 cfm 4 brl. My neighbor thinks it might be in the linkage for the accelerator pump, but not sure, I need to look at what he is reffering to.
Any list of ideas to try?
Thanks
Greg

A few things to check, pretty much a system type checkup, the pressure and quantity of fuel supply, air and vacuum leaks around the carb and intake manifold, and vacuum lines, if you have a closed system check the PCV and breather cap. Vacuum advance on the distributor. Once those are known good, then start looking at your carb for setting changes or internal problems.
