Have pulled carb apart checked, float, etc. and all is well. Plugs look tan on tip but little black by threads. Wires seem fine, i dont posess alot of electronic testing equipment but have some. Vacuum gauges shows smooth vacuum at 15, carb is tuned with vacuum and timing is on. Just does'nt make sense it was running great and all the sudden loading up like that.

500 cfm would be fine. Go to Jegs or Summit and get a carb spacer. It mounts between the carb base and intake. Sounds to me like it getting purculating fuel like mine did from fuel bowl getting too much ambient heat. Its a quick cheap fix. If it doesnt stop it, Id say it could be the carb or plugs. I tried Accel plugs once and they were no good, started fouling out in just a few hundred miles.
