Default Edelbrock carb problem!

290hp Gm crate engine. New accel distributor,new fuel pump and filter,New 1405 manual choke Edelbrock carb. The timing is set to 36* total with about 17.5 initial timing. No vaccum leaks. Heres my problem.
Right off of idle I have a hesitation. If i stop the car in the road let off the brakes and floor it, It falls on its face and then takes off pulling strong. Help! I had a 1406 on the car before and it did the same thing!! Whats going on here???
