<VV> My 110 HP Lawn Mower!

  Hi:

  I have a '66 Corvair with a 110 HP Engine. It's a 4 speed and the 
  engine (along with the Carbs) were rebuilt 2 years ago. It's a 
  daily driver which has rarely given me any problems. 

  The car was recently tuned (- a month ago - spark plugs & wires, timing,  point, 
  Carbs synched, etc.,).


  Yesterday, I started the car. It idled perfectly (steady rpm at 650) but while 
  driving it had absolutely no power. If it had a "catalytic converter", I'd 
  guess that to be the culprit (clogged) but no such thing - the muffler 
  is two years old.  

  It revs fine - no missing. I've checked the plug wires - firing order 
  checked fine also. 


  Point gap is at .016 and the car starts immediately but while driving, it 
  feels like it has a 2 cycle lawn mower engine pushing it (no pinging, 
  and no miss-fire or backfire occurs) simply no power while
  driving ! 

  I checked the distributor to see whether the weights
  or the point plate are out of place. Everything checks fine. 

  Please help !

  Tony
