Lars is very good with QuadraJets... and numerous other aspects of our hobby.
If you'd like to learn how to change the accel pump on your own and examine the passages, there are a number of people on here who'd be willing to help out.

Changing the accelerator pump is not that hard. ( NAPA #2-4055)
The hard part was the choke red (red box) and the choke parts (green box).

Thanks guys...yeah Lars actually emailed me a file to go over. Sounds like he knows his stuff pretty well. The car is pretty drivable right now so I will most likely rip the carb off it once I store it for the winter here soon. Not sure if I want to tackle it on my own yet or not. Depending on what he charges I may just send it to him...

My current carb is doing the same thing yours is. I messed around with the secondary adjustments and could get it lightly better but not where i want it to be. I'm actually having Lars rebuild a holley for me and it's being shipped back to me this week. Lars is a great guy to work with and has a ton of great information. Once i have the Holley installed i'm actually going to send out the Rochester to him to rebuild.
NOT!
