Re: Starving for Gas and getting worse!

Don’t clean those plugs, replace them. Look oil fouled to me.
Do you know the casting number on your heads. Your plugs might be the wrong kind.
Do you have a dedicated 12v power for the hei.

What air cleaner? Crazy long air cleaner stud! The nut on the stud can hang up the secondary metering rods and air door causing a super big bog like you describe.

What year is the intake from? Could be the infamous hot slot intake. The wrong gasket causes super hot carb.

Does your manual choke hold the choke blade completely open. Or is that how it normally runs.

Have you checked timing? Checked weights and springs are intact and moving? Vacuum canister good?
