600 CFm 1.12 carb on a 292 is too much carb, and that is the cause of your hesitation.
Sounds like you may have gotten rid of a good sized carb and probably a valuable one only to get a common 1.12 version. Now its highly possible that your hopped up 292 just might be able to make use of all those CFM's but I am still guesing over carbed.
Why wasn't it doing it before the problem was you probably had something not set up right or blocking the fuel inlet (very common problem for rebuilt carbs)
Personally I do not like the edelbrock carburetor, they are basically carter thermoquads and have Carters reputation, They run strong as long as they are carefully matched to the engine combination, but they are tricky to tune and keep tuned. Much,much,much more complicated than the 4100 Autolite. Personally I wouldn't trade, Actually I have a half of dozen edelbrock and carter pull-offs that I would LOVE to trade for 4100's as well.
