I run a FI distributor in it, and I haven't changed the timing or mixture since it was last running fine. I just drove it again, because I had to take back the filler that I bought- it was useless! Anyway, I went up a hill at about 65MPH, full throttle, and halfway up, it started running funny again, like it was only running on two cylinders. At the top it smoothed out as I let the throttle go, then I pushed it down to the floor again and it started doing it again. I did that a couple of times, and if I pushed it down more that 3/4 it would do it, and when I let it back up it would run fine, until I got further down the other side of the hill then it wouldn't do it again all the way home. Does that sound like fuel starvation to you?
