Part throttle missing

I have an 83 with a 350, 5 speed. The good news is there is no computer. When accelating under a light load there is a miss. The engine idles fine. WOT is great, once i get to it. I have tuned the carb, repalce the wires, dizzy and the plugs have less then 5k on them. I have adjusted the timing. the motor has about 150k since it's last rebuild in 1999. I have a performance cam and get about 16 lbs of vacuum at idle. flipping the carb open the vacuum drops to 0 then jumbs to about 25 and returns to 16.
I have checked the achives but need more
Looking for suggestions on what what else to check
