New Carb. New issues

I have a 1979 F-100 with a 351W & 2bbl 2150carb. If you remember from my previous thread (in December) I had a dead spot in the carb. at low speeds. I was unable to resolve the issue, so I bought a refub/carb. from national carb. Now ,with the new carb, when I hit speeds of 45 - 55 mph she acts like she is starving for gas. If I let up off the accelerator or pop it in neutral its ok. But, once I hit 45 - 50mph she boggs down real fast. Any ideas?

I would start with putting a fuel psi gage on it to see where you're at.

You need to also check ignition timing and ensure that the advance mechanisms are working properly.

Hope this helps,
