Will do, Thanks Lucas!

Checked the connections to disty and one had vacuum while the other didn't. The vacuum diagram on the underside of the hood said they were properly connected. Gonna check the ignition coil tonight on a hunch.

Gonna go try this, Thanks!

Ported vacuum? That sounds like the kind of symptoms I'm getting.

The gas is older, haven't checked the timing yet ( it's on the list), I rebuilt the carb and have the float adjusted as per the directions. As far as I know the wires are connected in the distributor, will double check. How would I check the weights? I was eventually able to drive the car home, could I do that with a broken timing belt? Thanks for the suggestions guys! The to-do list: check timing check belts check distributor new gas check ignition coil

I was going about 50mph when I lost throttle response and started to lose speed, finally dying. Luckily I managed to coast to a side street but was unable to start the car. Fast forward a few months> I've managed to get the Soob home and gotten it to start and idle, but it won't rev past 2500 in drive and stalls out while accelerating. New parts: cap and rotor plugs and wires oxygen sensor fuel pump fuel filter rebuilt carb carb pulloff vacuum hoses I'm new to cars and self taught so I'd be happy with any suggestions or advice.

Hi 175, I'm having a similar issue on my car still running a Hitatchi, what got it started again was blowing compressed air through the fuel line to the fuel filter. It died again today, but I think I may have found the answer. Apparently the rubber fuel lines can have interior cracks and start to act like a one way valve and starve the engine, try replacing the rubber lines. I will as soon as I get some new tubing. Good luck!
