So, Is this thing just needing to be tuned or can some one else chime in?

Maybe,

Couple things could have happened. Vacuum line could be loose or leaking, timing could have drifted out, eliminate the simple stuff first. After 4 yrs of sitting, crud in the carb may have broke loose and be clogging something.

After everything else, then seriously consider tuning.

These are just my opinions, I personally haven't used the Edelbrock carbs, though in the past Carter AFB and AVS did end up on my engines. (IMO, Carter is Edelbrock minus chrome and sticker)

I'm kinda like duct tape- no real purpose, but handy to have around.

Agreed, 4 years it could require a little love. I have ran that carb with zero problems
