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.
