No, not yet. My carb has tons of replaceable bits, but right now I've been doing a lot of reading about carb tuning. It is acceptable at the moment, but I  want to alter the accel afr and figure out the 'off the throttle'  lean out that I have not been able to find an answer to.

@ dodj my recent tuning with a wideband has been very similar to yours.  My car was originally running AFRs in the 12 range pretty much across the board.  I have now gone down three jet sizes in the primaries and have the cruise AFR in the high 13 to 14 range, but am now getting a stumble and lean condition when I first mash the pedal.  I am now moving up in accelerator pump squirter sizes to address this issue.  My theory is that the overly rich primary jets were previously covering up this accelerator shot issue.  I still have some more tuning to do, but is has been raining here for weeks so haven't had much of a chance to get the car out.  Tomorrow looks good though, so will probably bump up the squirters from 33 to 35 and see what happens.

Recently put in larger idle air bleeds but I only went up two sizes from 70 to 72. Not a huge change but it did seem to create a more lean condition at 'tip in' when accelerating. Now when i accel briskly, it leans out to 15 or so briefly then settles into about 12.5-13. Cruise is around 14-15. Idle is around 13.7.
Don't know enough about carbs yet to know if this is power valve or squirter to enriched the tip in. Or pump cam..

Don't forget that timing can make a big difference in your afrs too. Even without a carb change, moving the timing up or down can change AFR at idle, tip in, decel , wot etc.  Make sure you have a good vac source on the vac advance. And make sure you have no vaccuum leaks on the carb or intake or lines.
