[T3] Bogging Down

["Chris Picknally" <bluesky@sedona.net>]

I had a hesitation that I finally fixed. Turns out that the coil was old and
weak. I put a new Petronix electronic ignition and a matching extra hot coil
. . . What a difference on the low end idle and the low end in general. 

This engine has just been rebuilt a month ago.

Car runs well local and on the highway. Will go 70 on the highway no
problem.

My problem: I drive highway speeds for twenty min. or so, then slow to a
stop at a light and sit a couple of minutes, when I start to accelerate the
car gets bogged down and it accelerates like its stuck in tar or something
for about 20 feet or so. Once I get it rolling along it seems ok and will
act normally. 

It seems to be engine temp related or automatic transmission temp related .
. . what do you think?

Another strange thing that has me thinking transmission is a vibration on
the low medium rpm range when extra hot or just coming off the highway. As
if something is not balanced. The car does not do this when cool from
sitting overnight. The transmission shifts well and has not shown any other
problems that I would recognize.

I am real pleased with the car but would like to get the final kinks out.
