It's very easy to blame a carb...
You can solve 99% of your tuning and drivability issues ("off idle bog") by simply replacing the outdated torker manifold with a modern dual plane hi rise intake manifold.

The edelbrock carbs tend to want a lot (more) of initial spark advance at idle.
You need to recurve your distributor mechanical advance curve, especially if you have a larger than stock cam in the motor. More initial at idle+ less mechanical advance travel +34-36deg total timing at high rpm WOT.

You'll never completely get rid of the off idle bog at low rpm of a torker manifold. the cylinder to cylinder fuel distribution at low rpm near idle sucks.
The cure is to replace the intake manifold with a dual plane intake manifold.
You'll like the way the car drives overall a lot lot better.
A modern dual plane hi rise will make more power at all points in the rpm range than the old torker.
