Question High RPM@WOT problem

Hello,

I have been sorting through some of the list of small issues with my car (there is quite a list). But this is something that needs to be addressed, and I want to properly diagnose it rather than just throwing parts at it.

What happens, is, when going up through the gears at wide open throttle, when the engine reaches about 5,300 RPM, it misses terribly, much like it has a fuel starvation issue (which it may). This continues and in fact worsens if I stay on the throttle.

I can get past that RPM range with a lesser throttle application, but of course, no power in that.

My thoughts were:

-Fuel starvation due to improper float adjustment, fuel pressure, or main jet sizing

-Faulty points

-Faulty coil

My setup is a 1969 911T engine with S cams (I am fairly certain), and Webers.

Anyone care to hazard a guess?

Jeff
