The sluggishness is pretty even, doesn't open up over 3500rpm really. I will try cleaning
the carb really thoroughly, but it's pretty clean. The whole car is amazingly clean and
intact, had a really obsessive owner. But this problem has me stumped so far. Maybe it's
as simple as the carb shop installed the wrong jets or something.
thanks for the advice though!
PS anyone got a set of good 14" rims with holes ? I have the early kind that won't balance,
and I don't want to buy new tires to upgrade to 15" 505 rims.
