RE: [T3] Gutless / No torque / No power leaving a stop

I have noticed in my 71 sqb that the clutch will slip sometimes which
makes it feel gutless taking off from a stop.

Thanks, Russ. To answer your queries...

>Have you checked the fuel pressure?
Yes, 28.

>How is the fuel filter?
New with recent tune up.

>How is the filter screen in the bottom of the gas tank.
Tank was checked for sediment (none) and filter replaced upon purchase
last 
fall.

>How is the vacuum advance, and the timing.
I'm running a 311906205L distributor with the biscuit vacuum and it
works 
fine as does the mechanical advance.
Timing is right on.

>Does the distributor have a vacuum retard.
No.

What else could it be? And/or what should I check next?
