And the verdict...
I have to go back and work on Jamo's car now. Found the problem. Vaccum leak under carb between the gasket and the turkey pan. Pulled the turkey pan off and I am now waiting for the new gaskets to arrive. Until then I will drive without the turkey pan.
During the autopsy,
I took the carb off to check the power valves, (with my power lips I might add--yuck, that tasted bad. How come you can't ever wipe all the gas off?)
Anyway,
As I was tasting the gasoline--noticed the gaskets looked suspect. Took the turkey pan off to take as many variables as possible out and bolted the carb back down with a single gasket. Bingo...100 instant horses.
There is still an annoying stumble (not nearly so bad as before) in the 2000 rpm range. Probably caused by a lean condition as the butterfly is cracked for acceleration before the fuel can catch up. I wonder how to fix that problem.
I would sincerely like to thank all who responded to help out even though this has probably been re-hashed 10 times last month alone in other threads.
