the timing is set correct and i was told today that the fuel line thats on there now is 3/8 brak line and that the flares could be restricting the flow of the fuel because i do have good fuel pressure but not enough volume to go high speed or rpms

Here is an excerpt form Edelbrock's carb manual.
"The vehicle will perform well, but may be
prone to stalls on quick turns and stops with the clutch disengaged. If this problem occurs, check the fuel pressure. If it is more than 6.0 psi at IDLE, it should be reduced through the use
of a regulator, such as Edelbrock #8190, or by creating a restricted by-pass bleed to the fuel return line. Edelbrock Street Fuel Pumps are highly recommended for all Edelbrock Performer
Series carburetor installations."
