Random B18 engine anomalies 140-160 1968

UPDATE: At 18 flats, the car would idle at 1000 RPM, but whenever I attempted to accelerate away, the engine would really struggle for power, like it was totally bogged down, if I was accelerating from any RPM less than 2000. It wasn't until I got to 24 flats down that I can get smooth and clean acceleration from pretty much idle. I don't see any smoke at this point, but the jets are back to about where I had them before.

Ideas?
