Well..for those who jumped in a few days ago on what causes a tachometer to jump around, I finally solved the problem. I HAD NO GAP IN MY POINTS...nada, nothing!!!!!! No wonder the car ran like crap.

I reset the points to where they are supposed to be and like a miracle, the car runs great. One thing I do wonder about though is that the points only have 3k on them and that carbon fiber material that nests against the distributor cam arm is just about gone. How can that stuff wear down so fast? And, as it does, the gap changes. Does this mean I have to check the gap every few miles? The point contacts themselves were as clean as a whistle...interesting. Do I need more lubricate beyond what comes in that tiny bubble that comes along with the points? I have been advised not to over lubricate because the lubricant can sling around and disrupt the contactsd. Do I switch to the perma-tune unit that replaces the points forever?

Anyways, thanks Wayne and the rest of you guys for your input and helping me to solve a very annoying problem.
