Start by checking all the standard things.  First get a copy of the 
Bentley manual, then check to make sure that all the tuneup 
adjustments are correct: dwell, timing, valve lash, idle speed, spark 
plugs.  I suggest that you keep an accurate log of your fuel 
consumption and gas mileage so you can tell us how your car is doing. 
This is a valuable diagnositic too, and it is free!
