Too much fuel or not enough fuel going in...too large a jet size or incorrect float adjustment. I suspect too much fuel because of the performance carb.
Answerprobably because you were hitting the secondarys to early with to much throttle wich would dump to much fuel in the pots AnswerTypical problem with engines that have had "external" modifications only to improve performance. It's called "over-carburation", and is often the case when a carb that is too big is bolted to an engine not properly prepared to accept it. Headers help, but what you will need to do, is replace your cam with one that matches the capacity of your carburetor, or get a smaller carb. In short, spend more money.

unless you are willing to install the ecm and wiring harness,you will have to replace the distributor with a pre 1980 distributor. reason for this is to get vacuum advance. you also will have to replace intake manifold with a manifold for a carb. a edelbrock and a edelbrock carb work well for me. the rest should work. also use the exhaust manifolds from the 76. good luck

Where is the serial stamped on a model 37 Ithaca?
On my 1950s vintage Ithaca Model 37 16 gauge it is on the right side of the end of the receiver where the magazine tube and barrel go into the receiver, and also on the barrel adjacent to the number on the receiver. The numbers should be the same on both the barrel and receiver unless the barrel is not the original barrel, at least on mine they are.

You Can still buy that Carb new or used, unless you may want to go with a new or better one and i would say a Holley 600Cfm or 650Cfm gas mileage might go down a little.. and you don't need to Replace your intake they sell Adapter plates for the conversion And Also you can get an Adapter plate and Use Edelbrock 600-650Cfm Carb theres a link for it below but you can but it from your local autoparts store like AutoZone or Advance auto parts or a speed shop sells them but i wouldn't go there they always mark up more then anyone else.. Edelbrock 600CFM http://www.jegs.com/i/Edelbrock/350/1400/10002/-1 Or if u wanna spend the money you can go high tech and buy Holleys Aftermarket TPI injection system Stock GM 2 barrel or holley TBI 4 barrel and probaly increase your gas mileage parts store should be able to order that also...
