Try kicking your distributor ahead a few degrees. Yes, go ahead and turn it a
little. That was one of the problems on my '74 when I yanked the SU's to put
on a
Weber. If that doesn't work, take some steps to identify an intake leak.
Check
between the block and intake and in between the carbs and intake. That's my
only and
best advice...Good luck!
