Screamin High EGT's 582

[LSaupe]

Just putting a 582 in Service and am getting some screamin high EGT's, predominantly 4500 to 5500, however the numbers are higher than anticipated across the board.

582 with 2.62 C box and GSC 3 blade turning 6500 at full power at 55 MPH (as a setting). 6,200 static on the ground.

EGT's run 1,300-1,400F at mid range though do pull down to 1,200F at full power. Still way too high.

All items are new, including carb boots and engine seals.

Needle is in the richest position. All needles, needle jets, main jets and pilot jets are per Bing spec for the 582.

OAT at 50F.

Any thoughts? Plugs look good and engine runs fine. Kinda thinking (and hoping) that it is an indication issue?
