I would think an electric issue would present itself at higher RPMs when you
need more spark.

Duke, guys:
To clarify one point, I am running a 465 cfm Holley. The car acts like the
carb is loading up, but curiously enough, I've not seen any black smoke out
the exhaust. Whereas I realize that sitting is not good on a carb, what do
you think the chances are that it's an electrical issue? Maybe a condenser
breaking down?
