Wow, 2000 miles in a car you just bought is a really daring thing to do. Glad 
you made it home without incident. And a '71 square with a sunroof is a great 
find.

If it's running rough, start by checking the dwell, timing, and valve 
adjustment. The long hard drive may have stressed some weak points, so I'd 
check the compression, too.
