Ok,
Check for sucking air around the carb, carb to manifold. That little hole clear? You got Roch B? That spring loaded adjusting screw 1.5 to 2 turns open? You buy one up hotter A/Cs (I think 46)? The timing mark holding fairly steady? You run premium gas? You might want to check your valves again now that it's running half way decent.
And now for the Kicker (some of the guys around here hate these things but they work for me). MSD6A $150.00+tax. If you decide to get one order the optional plastic ears that bolt to the distributer they make thing easier.
Adios, Kip
