[TR] Flutter miss

[Wbeech@flash.net]

All good suggestions, might I add one more from experience.   As this is a new rebuild I’m guess everything has recently been apart and back together.  My 3 had a similar problem that it just wouldn’t pull past around 3500rpm, felt like valve float.  Not sure how I thought to check but the adjustment for the throttle linkage was out of wack, butterfly would only open around 2/3.  Working with the linkage and the stop bolt behind the pedal created a whole new level of performance.   One caution:  Do Not adjust so the the butterflies act as throttle stops, new problems will ensue. 
Thanks to SWMBO for siting and depressing the pedal, over and over, while I fiddled.

Is it possible the distributor shaft bronze bushings could be worn just enough that at higher RPM that extra clearance or possible wobble could affect the timing of the points action and gap, and/or the rotor to cap timing and spacing?

Spark Plug wires will fail under load like that.  That'd be my first thought before plugs, especially with electronic ignition and especially if you're running anything other than copper core wires.  Then the distributor cap and rotor.  Some of the older rotors were sketchy.  

Have fun!
