the bog never goes away, distributor is completely rebuilt unit with vac advance hooked to the pass side vac port on carb, book states this is the EGR equipped side, but idles smooth as heck on that side, idles rough on the drivers side port. Seemed to bog less as I rotated further clockwise, but then the top end sounded realy poor (like a lot of valve rattle), and top end power was down.

I just taught myself about carbs a bit, now you're hinting at timing and vac advance, I don't know those yet, hehehe. More to read more to read.

I also suspected timing could be an issue, that's why I rotated the distributor a bit. Don't know what to check on that.
