Default 1979 EL Camino bogs down

I have a 1979 SS El Camino with a 305 engine. Everything is stock except a Eldlebrock Torker Intake and a 500cfm Eldelbrock carb. It bogs down when I accelerate especially when it hasn't warmed up. I tried advancing the timing and the fuel air mixture. I fixed any vacumn leaks that I may have had. Any advise?
