[T3] New Distributor Same Results, 034

[Craigs List]

As many of you know, I am now on my 3rd distributor with very little change
in how my car acts at low RPM. I started a new thread to try and collect
the ideas of those who have not joined the other conversation.

Max and I are getting together this afternoon to try a few things that are
not common to see if we can narrow down the problem. It is always nice to
have a fresh set of eyes looking over the problem to see if I have missed
something.

As far as my situation, I have an extreme bog / flat spot /
fall-on-you-face at low rpm. This is acceleration off the line or
acceleration from cruise that is in the lower RPM. This happens at part
throttle, full throttle or barley any throttle. It is so bad that I have to
flutter the car off the line until I get into the higher RPM's. What I am
looking for are idea that are out of the box.

For those who don't know, I have recently gone from a set of Dell 40's to a
set of Dell 36's. I made this switch because I thought that the Dell 40's,
being so big, were causing an issue with tuning. Now that the 36's are on
(a set refurbished by ACE / Blackline Racing) I am confident that I have a
problem beyond the carbs.

Along those lines, I am on my 3rd distributor combination. none of the
distributor changes have made a difference. I have had a 009 on there, a
205L FI distributor and now a 034 SVDA to try and get some relief. All of
them have acted the same.

What I am guessing now is that the Dells do not have enough vacuum at low
RPM to make an effective change to pull that vacuum advance. Or maybe the
load of an automatic and Dells is a non-working combination? That is some
of what Max and I are going to test today.

Any crazy ideas out there, I am willing to listen. It is not a stock
combination, but I have't gone extreme. I think that this should work. I am
quite puzzled what is going on unless I have some strange situation that I
have no seen. I'm stumped!
