Not really sure what this info is really saying but this thread is getting all over the place.
While the engine is running the pump shooter does not squirt fuel as you tip into the throttle (it does when the engine is off). AKA no fuel... so at idle the engine runs fine, under heavy acceleration it runs fine, at a very light load it stumbles... the shooter isn't squirting fuel... perhaps this is normal, but it didn't make sense to me. I haven't worked on carb's before.

The ignition is at 15° advance. It is not an HEI system but rather points.

The carb is an 1850-3 2537

To be honest when I changed the power valve I did not see a trans tube, but I claim ignorance for not really looking to be honest...

I have a 4 hole 1" spacer. It is an older Torker II intake.


When I changed the power valve I did clean the carb. I can not say 100% that something is not lodged somewhere....
