Brent,
I don't know that your lag theory is correct or not - possibly. I would lean towards fine tuning of the carb. At the same time I would be inclined to port the head intake runers to meet the intake thus eliminating the shelf.

Interior had some issues with mice even though we had poison packs in and around it, but it needed work in there anyway. Brakes and suspension are the first order of business. Then I need to decide whether to go back to the original 2bbl manifold (which I have) and find a carb for it or find 4v heads for it. It's had 4bbl Holley carb and intake with 2v heads on it since I bought it all those years ago.
Welcome from iowa I may know where there are some heads I layed my eyes on them while searching for parts for mine.If you are interested I can persue them for you.

I did that with my first 1970 Mach 1 and I am still looking for it.
That red looks good.
I bet your kids like the old girl.
We would like to see some more detailed photos if you have the time.
