I had to turn around and put the MGC in the garage this morning.  It
started just fine and warmed up as normal, but when I went to
accellerate out of the driveway-- nothing.  It would rev as high as
1500-2000 RPM and then just die.  It wasn't turning off, just loosing
all power.

So, this seems like a carb problem to me, but the car ran well
yesterday.  I did get new gas yesterday and I noticed it was
pinging when I was driving home and seemed to have less power.
Could this be a timing problem brought about by the gas? 

I don't think it is a vacumn leak.  The distributor vacumn pipe was
connected.

Any ideas greatly appreciated
