edelbrock tuning

i have a edelbrock 750 manual choke setup on my 400 and have 2 questions. whenever i have my foot in it pretty good and let off suddenly it dies. itll crank for a few seconds and then start right up but for instance whenever im at a mudbog and get to the end of the pit and let off to stop itll die. any suggestions?
also it runs just fine going up a steep incline but going down one itll die. float too hi or too low? im thinken too hi. not real good on carb work.

Try the Edelbrock website. They have great info on tuning their carbs. Kelly.

I know Ford used to put dashpots on carbs to keep them from dying. Maybe you need to open up the idle screw a bit? How is the idle mixture set?

Edelbrock sells a spring loaded needle and seat that helps on grades.
