So I recently purchased new weber 44 idf's. They didn't work out well so I went back to an old set of weber 44 idf's that I had. I thoroughly cleaned the carbs, sprayed carb cleaner through all jets, tubes, etc. I have also balanced the linkage. Set the floats, etc.

The car starts well. Idle's well. When I drive the car I get a major flat spot between 1500 and 3000 rpm's. Below and above the car accelerates normally.

What changes should I make?

My current setup for my 2258 (dual webers, big cam)
-idle 55
-main 160
-et F11
-ac 200
-vents 36

Are there other issues that can cause this type of problem (timing,etc?)
