283 Missing Or Not

took the 61 impala out today, has 283 original engine with HEI dist, runs good around 3k rpm's, smooth, but below 3k at a steady speed, engine seems to be surging or maybe have a mild miss. runs strong when you get down on it with no miss. 373 gear ratio. might need new plugs or carb adjustment, any ideas?

lower rpm surges can usually be traced to internal leaks in the carb. Too high float levels, leaking gaskets worn jets
