lack of power

[Derek Ellison]

I just finished rebuilding my '65 dream and I'm haveing a serious lack of power. 1st and 2nd gear feel ok but once i hit 3rd it doesn't really want to do much and once i get to 50mph it's a real battle to get it any higher. the carb is tuned, timing is on, and compression is 120. Anyone have any suggestions, i'm not really sure where else to go hear. thanks, Derek

Can ya tell me what angle the line at the end of the points cam is at in relation to the center line of the cylinders when the stater point is at "F" for the right side?. ........lm

pretty much right at 90 degrees. another thing i forgot to mention (sorry) is that when i'm in forth gear and just cruisin along the RPMs seem to just jump up.

Have ya checked the fuel system or opened the cap?. .....lm
