Thanks to everyone that tried to help.
The accelerator squirter needle will cause that problem. Might not be a bad time to just go over the basic's, like making sure the throttle plate gasket is good and the phillips screws are tight. Had a customer with a new Holley carb and a "bent" accelerator pump lever (out of the box) that caused a similar stumble. Also just recheck ignition timing and if you still use the mechanical advance in the distributor, make sure its not sticking and it moves freely. MSD installs some very heavy advance springs ( MSD distributor) and that has caused stumbles and sluggish performance.
Accelerator pump discharge hole dia. should be last thing on list to tune.
Get your basic's squared away and you should be good to go!
