62 vette carb issues
Hi Folks, new member here.....have a 62 that I bought in 1972...from original owner.....the long and short is I got rid of the X..kept the Vette....That's the wisest decision I've made in my life.
From NJ originally, moving to PA for a while, then to Venice Fl.
62 is power glide orig 327/250 w/ wcfb.... I've rebuilt everything, and recently opted for a AFB 3310s, changed intake, had carb rebuilt... problem is carb bogs down when I floor gas pedal, if I release pedal slightly runs better, but not great. I kept the orig. power pack heads on car, just increased carburetor cfm .....Anyone able to help ???

Welcome to the forum.
Sounds like it may be an accelerator pump issue with the carb.
Google may also provide additional info for you on carb?
