After much help from Jeff, I got my throttle linkage to reach my kickdown switch. I realized that not only was my linkage way to sloppy, but at full throttle my primaries were not opening all the way. Now that everything is in order, the car developed a severe bog at full throttle, both from a stop and while driving.

I figure now that everything is opening up all the way, the carb is getting more air and not enough fuel. The engine literally dies at full throttle.

I am going to try to advance my timing, is this a good first step? Any other ideas?

Thanks again Jeff
