Right you are - I am cross-eyed (or something - I can't even blame .a beverage).

Hey Darryl's pointed out the the no. 2 and 3 leads are crossed. Which way is the rotor turning in the dizzy? If Darryl's eyes arent crossed the rotor must be turning counter clockwise, is that correct?

CJ, Robert is right, I really did mis-trace which wire went to 2 and 3 when I posted.

And, I think I misinterpreted the "noticed lately" as meaning that the car had only lately started doing this. But it looks like it may have been doing it for who knows how long, it is just that Joe hasn't owned it for long. If it is not something that changed recently but is an "as built/tuned" behavior of  the engine it could be incorrect carb jetting like Joe says, or given the vague description of "big" cam it could be cam timing is off or even "correct" (but maybe questionable long duration cam choice for a road car?)  and producing reversion at low rpm? Robert is right again I think - you need to take it to someone with experience with tuning these engines to figure out what you have and what to change to make it work. I don't think anyone is going to be able to guess what that is via forum posts.
