I think that the umbrella valve is the problem. the valve under the accelerator pump is most likely  leaking.  Just my 2 Cents

thanks for the info.I  have tried rack and pinion  with no luck.The 62 frame is different than the 63.Can not mount the rack low enough  to eliminate bump steer.I  do not want the original power steering set up,so i guess I will keep it the way it is.

I use this formula  for carb size   cfm=max rpm x cubic inch  divided by 3456   gets you pretty close to the size of carb you need.I cannot remember where i got this formula,but have had and used it for years
