Check for air leak at the intake manifold gaskets/blocks.=C2=A0 With car ru=
nning carefully spray carb cleaner around gasket areas.=C2=A0 If car revs g=

Update: =C2=A0Reassembled and plugged the lifter piston hole, and no improv=
ement.
Things I have done:  =20
   - Verified the timing and vacuum advance are set and working correctly. =
 =20

   - Adjusted the valves to correct clearance.  =20

   - Changed the dashpot oil to ATF.  =20

   - Disassembled the Domes, Pistons, Needles and cleaned.  =20

   - Reset the needles to correct depth according the Z-Therapy video metho=
d.  =20

   - Checked to make sure SU pistons are moving at the same pace within the=
 domes.  =20

   - Checked for a kinked fuel lines from the float chambers to the nozzles=
.  =20

   - Set/Tuned the carbs according the write-up by Keith Williams.

The only thing that seems to get the car running smoothly and able to accel=
erate once at speed is to pull the choke out or set the mixture to very ric=
h.
I would maybe suspect the distributor is worn out, but if that were the cas=
e I wouldn't think pulling the choke out would make any difference.
Thanks,Alan

I have been chasing this issue for a while and I am hoping I may have found=
 something but would like your feedback. =C2=A0(Thanks in advance!)
When cruising around 3000 to 3200 RPM, if I press on the accelerator, the m=
otor wants to hesitate or cough, it will eventually get beyond this, but is=
 annoying. =C2=A0I have done my best to tune things and the only thing that=
 helps is making the front carb run very rich.
Today, when dissembling the carbs, I noticed the front carb was missing the=
 Lifter Piston (part #=C2=A016324-10400)=C2=A0that you can use to test the =
lean/rich mixture from the bottom of the carb without having to put your fi=
nger into the throat of the carb. =C2=A0
Could that be creating a vacuum leak and cause of my issue?
Thanks,Alan
