	Well here's an update.  This temp sensor issue was baffling me, I
started from scratch.  I took it out for a run to warm things up.  I then
connected the Air Temp sensor, set the dwell, idle, timing.  BTW, Jim, I
pulled the dist and checked the mech. Advance and it came back position
without a problem, so that is fine.  I double checked the Vacuum Advance and
it was also good.  After setting everything to spec (temp sensor connected).
I took it out for a drive.  The was not hesitation!  It ran great.  There
was a small difference in power, the peddle was not quite as responsive, but
not drastically.  I could not make sense of it.  
	Then, this morning I decided to try it out from stone cold.  Ah,
there is that hesitation.  For the first 3 minutes of driving in 1st and 2nd
there is a slight hesitation but then it evens out after the car warms up
(it was about 50 this morning).  So, I think what I was attributing to the
temp sensor was just a lean running condition while the engine is cold.
	I apologize that this issue has become so convoluted.  I think that
the major issue came from my dirty trigger contacts and low fuel pressure.
Cause now she is running great, I even took her on the 1/2 hour drive to
work this morning ;).
	Thanks to everyone, especially Jim, Keith and, Mark for all the
great ideas and help in ferreting out this problem.  Everythings
well.............for now ;).  My wife and kids will be happy to see me
again, even if I'm just driving by ;).

Thanks,
