That black vacuum hose has two purposes, it does connect to the PCV valve, but it also supplies vacuum for my brake booster.

That may be the "Vacuum Leak" causing the Problem. Disconnect and Plug for now and get the Carb Problem fixed first then work on the PCV. after the Carbs are sorted out..The 3 x 2 Manifold I have has a Vacuum outlet in the Middle like Yours and another at the back of Manifold like ECZ-B have..Really not the best Setup to have PCV and Brake Booster connected together.

You shouldn't hook the PVC to the Brake booster line

Hoosier hurricane, you brought up a very excellent point! When I first got the car. It had a different PCV valve on it. It was from an early Corvette engine. I tried to find another one but the few that are in remaining, guys want very big dollars for them! So, the current one I have is from a Y block..I guess I should try block blocking the PCV valve off just to see if it makes a difference. Very good point!

Is that black vacuum hose connected to a PCV?  If so, try plugging it and see if you still have to run with the choke on.  Too big a PCV acts the same as a vacuum leak.

Thanks for all the replies guys! Yes I am running progressive linkage! haven't been able to check the fuel pressure yet can't find a place to tap-in it's feasible. What I did notice is if I cover the rear outboard carburetor up completely with my hand, it will stall! I had these carburetors reworked by vintage speed to cure this problem. My main concern is why I still have to run with the center choke almost closed?

I have a Standard Carter Fuel Pump on mine for an early 60's 352. Maximum Pressure seems to be 4.5-5.5 so really my Pressure Regulator is not doing much except smoothing out Pulses from the Fuel Pump. My Holley Carb is Happy-no Flooding.
