Since replacing the manifold gaskets I have spayed ether around the joints to check for a vacuum leak. None found.

I read your earlier post regarding the carb swap. It cannot hurt and it does not cost anything to try the intake swap. You may find the problem or not...but it is easier than splitting the engine and checking the cam timing!
