	First thing to check is that you have sufficient oil in the
dashpots of your carbs.

	How are your air filters? A heavy load of filth in them can
starve the engine for air.

	Try going back to conventional ignition to insure that your new
fangled electronics are not the source of the issue.

well as some know I have installed a "new" engine which I must say is
pretty good-compression of 150lbs across all 4. I have had electronic
ignition installed and that's fine but I am having a hesitation problem.


When cold its ok or driving around town with a constant variation of
revs but once I start to cruise along with revs at say 3300 and then I
try to accelerate I have hesitation, at time severe, it also seems to be
brought on if I go up a hill as driving at steady rev level, it feels
like it is only running on 3 or 2 cylinders when this happens, feels
just like when head gasket went in the past. If the car is idling in
driveway I can rev engine to high revs without a problem Could it be a
situation of the fuel pump being able to provide enough fuel but not
being able to respond to the additional demand for fuel as required for
acceleration?
