I pretty sure that the problem was self inflicted, timing was aparently more retarded than I thought and when the vacuum advance dropped out (it was ported) the timing would drop bak too much. Unfortunately my distributor (cheap Chinese aftermarket) has apparently failed so I am waiting on a replacement to try again to get things moving forward.
My plan is to get the new distributor installed with the timing set at about 32 BTDC all in and change to manifold vacuum for advance. Once I get that resolved I will need to reset the carburetor idle speed and idle mixtures that will hopefully make everything good (fingers crossed).
