Hi Larry, in following you thread... A common mistake I have often made 
in the past was connecting up the 1 3 4 2 firing order in the wrong 
clockwise direction.... and it runs kind-a-like you mentioned... I know 
it sounds silly.... but I sure felt that way when I reversed-em and it 
purred right off the bat...

On my car the wires are sitting at : on the positions of the clock
1 3 4 2  = 3 12 9 6   IE: wire #1 at 3:00 O'Clock.... and counter 
clockwise....for the rest... 

Anyway.... I made this mistake for a long time twice over the last few 
years.....just a thought....

And again, if this is dual carb... I forget if it is....then, 1&2 points 
to front carb being out of whack....and if lots of testing, one often 
needs to clean off the plugs after lots of wanking, spinning and tuning 
gets lots of crud on the plugs, fouling-em-up..... CHEERS/....
