I have an edelbrock 600 and read they don't like fuel pressure
Over 5 lbs.
Thay video is beyond a rich/lean adjustment, gas really dumping in there.
Reduce fuel pressure is the first thing I'd do.
Post results.

Had the truck since 2009. Had a six originally.
The motor is a 283 .060 over that I picked up it has less then 2,000 miles on full rebuild I got all the paper work with it of everything done. Guy had it in a pickup and wanted more power so he pulled it. Motor runs good otherwise.
The carb is new 600 cfm 1406 it was used one season on a ice drag car but it’s is new to me. And all the internals look very nice and it’s very clean inside.
I am gonna try a regulator on it and drop pressure down to 4.5 pounds.
I got a holly regulator and it should be here tomorrow.

Remove the top of the carb, remove both seats and the strainer below the seats, blow it all out.

The rubber is there, in like new condition on both sides. I have had it apart to check float height I blew everything out with carb cleaner.
