Alright, seems like it has to be something to do with the distributor. I've installed a new Weber carb and it runs even better with the old points distributor. But with the electric distributor I'm getting the same problem as before. I've checked to see if it retards as I accelerate and it does not. It does indeed advance. Could it be I have it wired up incorrectly? A few of us have had mixed instructions on how to wire it in. I currently have the single wire that was used for the points distributor connected to the wire with the red stripe on the new electric distrutor. The black wire on the new distributor is connected to the neg side of the coil.

Oh and another thing I exhibited was with the filter off of the Weber and I do a hard acceleration, it gives a loud pop up through the carb barrels as it hesitates and almost dies.

I'm afraid not. It recently died. I tried restarting it many times without any luck. I need to further diagnose if it is related to this issue or not. I'll get it back running then try working on this issue again. Please let me know if you have any other advise. Thanks
