The Distributor is fine now! All fixed. Combination of the points installed wrong and the timing 180 out...

The 34mm vents are too small. I am choking at 6000 RPM. I am thinking of trying 38mm, but I haven't found any yet.

The intake manifold was opened up to 40 mm. The head was opened up to 40mm at the intake down to the the 2.7l intake size (I've forgotten the intake vale diameter, but I'll look it up...)

According to my Weber handbook, 2.7l running 7200 rpm should be using 40mm. By my calculations, if I'm choking with 34mm at 6000 RPM, then 38mm should allow me to go to 7200.
