Default looking for troubleshooting advice!

hi from a newbie,

yesterday i was driving and had to turn around so i stopped, hit reverse, and when i grabbed first again the car started missing and bucking so bad i had to have it towed home.

here's what i know:

2 hours and about 20 miles before trouble started i checked inspected plugs and gaps-good
i put ten gals of 93 in
it had not so much as hiccupped lately
fuel pump working-don't know pressure
it's got a holley 650
it starts well but idles rough
both float chambers getting fuel
the accelerator pumps are porting fuel properly but when actuated the engine starts to die----too much fuel?

fuel filter not clogged
vacuum lines intact
NO backfiring
it's a 66 lemans WP block, which leads me to my other question. did any WP blocks have 4 barrel intakes? or were they all with 2GC'S.

today i'm gonna check timing and pull the rotor and inspect and check points and i want to troubleshoot as thoroughly as i can before i swap carbs out of sheer frustration. it was on my list but not this soon.

thanks for your time, patience and especially your help.

joe
