        You kept the vacuum retard presumably, yes?

        Often when people remove their smog equipment, they try to keep the 
vacuum
retard hooked up in the mistaken believe that it is a vacuum advance. Usually
they completely bugger the vacuum connection for the capsule because of this
mistaken belief. So I gotta ask, where is the vacuum line from the dizzy
connected? Front carb? Back Carb? And which vacuum port is it connected to on
that carb? Are you certain that the vacuum retard capsule is working
correctly? They are usually inoperative due to age, and need to be replaced.
This could explain your symptoms.

Thanks for the input so far.

One itty-bitty thing I forgot to add - ALL of the pollution control stuff
was removed

when the motor was re-built - no smog pump, no recirculation system, no EGR,
etc.
