A few random thoughts.
Totally mucked up carbs generally will not produce a ton of power for a second or two. But inconsistent spark will.
If you've already got a new dizzy on the way, I think I'd wait to swap that out before doing anything with the carbs. You can learn more futzing with one variable at a time than by changing everything at once. And a new dizzy will be easier futzing than rebuilding carbs.
You probably WILL need to rebuild the carbs (and should do so anyway, just on general principle), but let there be some method to the madness.
Just what you needed, right? More free advice.

To play devil’s advocate for a minute. The guys at F.A.S.T. told me to get my car running PERFECTLY before I installed my electronic ignition. Thinking that if that was done, any “issues” that cropped up could be directly blamed in the ignition, I guess. .
