<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
