Thanks guys for your responses and help. I have found the culprit to this
problem. Usually I do not get as stumped as this. Fuel
Distributor/injectors. #'s 4 and 5 will squirt constantly as long as there
is fuel pressure. Thier volume will not increase with a corresponding
increase in air flow. 
I did neglect to mention that this particular car was a recent aquisition
and so I did not have much history on it. Thanks for your help and I am
always here, watching and posting.
