The carb is new 600 cfm 1406 it was used one season on a ice drag car

You might check on the primary and secondary jets.
Dragsters live on another planet, as far as jet sizes go. Get the Edelbrock Carb manual, [if you don't have one] and check what size jets come stock from the factory in the 1406. I have the EDL 1404 [500 CFM] in my '68 C/10 w/292 L6, and a Carter AFB 9635 [~=EDL 1405, 600 CFM w/ manual choke] on a 350 V8 in my '71 Jimmy.
Both are easy to tune.
