It's gotta be either the mixture or the timing or both, right?  :-)  I 
*assume* the fuel pump is keeping up, but how can you tell from behind 
the wheel?

I tried retarding the spark a couple of clicks, and that made launches 
quicker but maybe the hesitation at mid-RPMs a little worse.  At speed, 
I choked it a bit and that also made it worse, I think.  So I'm guessing 
I need more advance and less richness.

Any other ideas much appreciated!

Oh, it's a '73 GT6 and I just drove it "for real" this morning, after 2 
years on jackstands.  Whaddaya know, it passed inspection first time! 
Just shows what bribing a blind man can get ya....
