Thanks for the feedback. I decided to start with the basics. When I first bought the car, I knew it needed a fuel pump which i changed out. The car was fine for a while, then when it started to run funny, i ruled out it was a tank of bad gas.The previous owner(s) had installed MSD plug wires and an Edelbrock Carb. Did find the one vacuum port under the carb open as mentioned earlier. Rinsed the dust off the engine for a car show and it wouldn't start, I knew right away new dist. cap, rotor, plug wires and plugs were in order. Found the old plugs were on the sooty side from too rich and the gap was close to/in excess of .050, yet everything else is stock. New plugs were set at .035. Did move the fuel line away from the manifold (close but not touching). Runs very crisp now, still trying to gauge how the warm startups are behaving. Need to check the timing yet. Car had passed Emissions test a while ago, I need to look into the if the Vintage insurance allows EFI upgrade. Cheers
