[T3] '68 SQ w/ dual carbs questions

[garram1@swbell.net]

I just bought a very original '68 Squareback.  I seems all original except that the A/C and FI have been removed.  Dual Weber ICTs were installed.  It still has the original distributor.  I haven't done anything to it yet
 except change the oil.

The problem is that the engine runs sluggishly until about 2500-3000 R.P.M.  
After that it pulls fine.  It's not that it bogs or has a flat spot.  It just doesn't 
seem to have any torque.  I expect that the carbs themselves will need some 
tuning but I thought I'd start with a basic tune up and set the valves and timing 
to stock values.  Does that sound like a good starting point or will I need to use 
a different distributor or ....?  I don't have any of the FI parts so I can't go 
back at this point.
