Where the fuel line connects to the tank,does the drain belong in the front or rear connection?

After carter carb rebuild, installed new fuel pump and fuel lines and even a new tank. Started up and she doesnt want to accelerate smoothly. What type of adjustment is necessary? Vacuum is a steady 20. Electronic ignition,new wires cap rotor and plugs. Also adjusted valve lash. Using the 87 octane with ethanol treatment. Any help on this final step will be greatly appreciated. Had already set timing before the rebuild.

First and foremost. Did you follow the procedure for finding the sweet spot?
Second. You will probably have to raise the metering rod assembly ever so slightly. I guess I need to do a video.

Followed your "sweet spot" instructions. The new dwell meter I bought today doesn't work.but used column mounted tach for rpms. Needed to adjust the idle mix screw somewhat. Running too rich. Lowest smooth idle I achieved was 900rpms. But that could be the quality of the tach. Storming here now so will hold off till after for test run. Question; raising the metering rod would do what exactly? Thanks again for all the superb help you've given so far.

1. If it is a straight Dwell Meter only, you won’t be able to measure the RPM.
2. The column tach is set for a four cylinder motor and if electric, the correct voltage?
3. With a metering rod that is too low, acceleration fuel flow is too low. Raising it allows that flow to match the vacuum demand in the cylinders.

Ok thanks. The tach is set for 4 cyl. 12 volt. Will get a new dwell meter and check. Thanks

Raised the metering rod a little like you suggested and that did the trick! Thanks again for all your superb help.
