Something is makin' her hold back...
I have been working on my 1980 D50 Sport for a little bit now. So far I have replaced the radiator, done 2 oil changes in the past 2 months (mostly due to the fact that it hadn't received an oil change in probably years, and it was already black after a week of driving). I have had some work done on the steering and front end. As well as run some fuel additives through some premium gas.
After all this work, not that it's that much, but she sounds much better at an idle. However when driving, just feels like something is holding her back when I hit the gas. Almost like it still has the e-brake partially on. I know that it isn't the e-brake because when I put it in neutral and coast, it coasts just fine.
I have a Fram air filter in the air box right now, but I have considered getting a K&N, thinking it might be an air flow issue. I don't know where to start on this one. Any thoughts?

So far, good.... but still not good.
Alright fellas, I have now replaced the carb, fuel pump, fuel filter, spark plugs, spark plug wires, and ignition control module. The pep has stepped up from 1 - 3,000 rpm, however after 3,000 rpm all power goes out the window. Anybody have any other ideas? It was suggested to try the electric fuel pump and something about the back pressure something (can't think of what it was now). I just remember that it's attached to the Distributor. So next immediate purchases are the ignition coil and distributor cap w/ rotor. Even though I don't think that's going to fix the power issue, I just want to complete the replacement of the electrical. So what else can I do?
