That sounds like what I just went through with my car. In my case, the cure was
had after replacing all my breather hoses, AND readjusting the mixture, which
had been set by the PO under the prior, leaky air parameters. And it probably
had no effect, but I changed the dashpot oil to ATF.
BTW, you may also get better performance with the carbs on the car, not the
