I don't think the carb is messed up. I got it new about a year and a half ago, but I haven't put too many miles on it since the car has been in storage since the end of the summer of '05. It only does this the first time I start the car after it's been sitting a week or so.

The carb doesn't leak gas and the linkage doesn't get hung up, although I'm still using the old 2 barrel linkage. Should I get the correct linkage for the carb I'm using now or does it matter? Now that you mention it though, it is kinda slanted...maybe that's what is causing the little lag at 1/3 throttle?

I don't think the float is empty. I can squirt gas down the carb by hand.

I work today, but I have this weekend off, so I think I'll poke around Mustangs Plus (screw Ford, I'm still gonna call it that) for linkage. I know they have those fancy kinds, so hopefully they have the original ones, too.
