BTW if it has 2 stubs , the one you want is the one pointing AWAY from the dizzy. The other one retards.

You say its ok up to about 1500 that means its working right kind of lol
Did the injectors get dirty while they where out or is the fuel line pinched or leaking
Either would cause this problem because the fuel cant keep up with the engine
If you think you did everything right then look for the simplest fix
if it worked before it will be something very simple
Are you running carb heads with EFI? If so, did the heads get the little cut out ground into the intake ports for the injectors to fire into?
I'd start by hooking the vacuum line direct to the manifold - there's no need for ported vacuum. Set your timing by filling up with low grade fuel and slowly advance the dizzy bit by bit untill you get pinging at around 2000 rpm whilst under heavy load and wide open throttle (do this on a hot day and you'll be safe). You may have to comprimise between this setting and idle quality. Running the vac advance direct to the manifold will help with this, but it will always be a comprimise with dizzies - they are old fashioned rubbish. The initial 6dbtdc as marked on the balancer doesn't mean much, just use it as an initial starting point, nothing more.
Have fun
(all above assumes the fuel system is ok)
Good call worth a checkQuote:

3.5 Carb heads on a 3.9 no dimples for the injectors and its just hitting the head and dribbling

They put the cutouts in the heads for a reason...
