Carb recommendation
Go with one of Cliff's Quadrajets.

All the reman stuff is junk. All the Jet "stage" Q-jets are almost junk. They are genri-built units, mismatched parts, generic calibrations, etc. Edelbrocks are about as bad.
custom built Qjet all day long. A properly sized and done Holley is just as good for performance, but fuel mileage is worse.

Yes, your 67 manifold does have an exhaust crossover underneath the bowl area where the Q-Jet used to sit. Without that shim the heat from the exhaust will burn through your base gasket, at the least causing a vacuum problem. Whether this is causing your problem, who knows. But it will cause A problem. You dont need the shim. Tap and plug the two passages.

A Cliff built Q-JET OR a CARBKING built Q-jet or CK's TQ will outperform that holley in every way. And you won't believe the mpg and power increase !!

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
