Response to Anyboby ever try one of the old 3 barrell Holleys?

I have a couple which I've tested with; one is conventional vaccuum secondaries and one is converted to mechanical secondaries with Annular boosters in the secondaries.
If you are using a two-plane intake then they are a great addition and both work exceptionally well however, when used on a single plane intake at higher RPM, the third cylinder back on both sides, (3 and 7 on a Ford), tend to run lean. I've tried all kinds of fixes including different plenum mods and even raising the carb with spacers 4". The problem still continues though not as bad so, use 'em on two plane intake manifolds with the divider notched.
