Assuming there isn’t a haboob forming in your neighborhood why don’t you remove the air filter and take the car for a drive around the block . . . just to see if the symptoms change/go away.

IMO that filter is way too small (too much pressure drop) for a carburetor that is referenced to the atmosphere . . . it would surely be OK on a much smaller displacement engine, but not one of 300+ cubic inches.

Now if we return to the Carter overhaul literature, ever one of the ‘spec-sheets’ has a list of turn-up items that should be checked prior to condemning/messing with the carburetor. Have those items been looked at?
