To me, being a mechanic and builder has substance beyond compare.

Well said!!!! Take what ya got and build what you want! That's where Hot Rodding started, and that's the direction I'd like to see it go.

Anyway, how do your plugs look? Clean, rich, or lean? Many times a problem is a combination of things. What is your timing set at? What is the condition of the ignition components? Could be your carb is fine, or perhaps need to move a step or two on jets and you just don't have enough spark to make it work correctly!
