Hmmmm, my first thought might be a clogged cat converter but I'd expect that
there might be some overheating associated with it.
My second guess would be a failing ingition coil. I worked on a car with
very similar symptoms (gradual loss of power) which needed a new coil.
However I'd expect a new coil for a '77B to be more than $4.90.
Based on whats left I'd guess a fuel delivery problem. A clogged filter
would be an obvious suspect, but I'm guessing that you had a fuel line
slowly collapsing, and the solution was to replace the rubber fuel lines.
I'm looking forward to hearing the real answer...
