<VV> 140 hesitation on transition to secondaries

Hi guys.  I've finally got caught up on things enough to get back to
work on the Vairs, so today I finally got my red 66 140 Corsa coupe
back on the road with the new race carbs and headers.

I've got a few little issues with the car to solve yet, one of which
is a hesitation when slowly pushing the pedal down far enough to get
into the secondaries.  This problem had become somewhat present on the
old carbs but more noticeable now.  I haven't done a good balancing
job yet (unisyn won't work with the vent tubes so I need to improvise
a little) so I'm thinking that is quite likely the cause.  Just to be
safe I thought I'd ask before I beat my brains out trying to perfectly
sync the secondaries.

The other problem I'm having could be related but is not obviously
related on the surface.  Last year the car developed an intermittent
miss at part throttle, then got to where it was not pulling well at
full throttle.  The carbs have been replaced with brand new race
prepped carbs since then and the problem still remains so I figure it
has to be the ignition system.  I'm looking at ignition system options
now (gonna ask on fastvair).

Thanks,
