I did the same thing to my newely installed Edelbrock carb. It had a Holley SA 770 which was way too much for my motor so I swapped it out for an Edelbrock 650. Runs a lot better, no pump shot hesitation anymore either. I also leaned out the idle mixture a bit.

I also replaced the lug nuts on my new Centerline wheels. Summit had sent me the open ended lug nuts when I wanted the closed end ones. I got them last week but just got around to installing them today.
