Yet to confirm that this is the culprit.....but I noticed that my center vent wouldn't open...Aha I say...vacuum issue which I had dismissed initially due to the lack of hunting idle which I have always had whenever vacuum was fu#*ed.

I found that like any common idiot I had out the vacuum check valve on backwards

Set the timing properly, timing at idle is a bit advanced (~12 BTDC), but I'll live with it for now.

Gonna go make a run at 100+ and see where I am now.

It's a little better, but still not what it used to be.

I'll work on the fuel system as recommended by Dr bob, and hopefully have some news next week.

Kind of fixed itself as everything is back to normal now, must have just needed to be driven some.

Thanks for the help
