I put the #67's in today and it is a world of differnce!! It still does surge just a little bit but at least we are on the right track! Should I try one jet higher again?

:iagree: Try Matt Gruber's test. Too much vacumm advance shows up in my car mostly at steady cruise but also light acceleration. It appears to be a common problem with today's fuels. :steering:

Re: Surging when accelerating (DansYellow66)
I had something similar like this happen two nights ago. I had noticed my car getting steadily worse and worse. Mine was more surging during cruising. Then, all of the sudden the car stopped running. I would crank and start, then die.
What caused it? The + wire going to the coil was loose. Actually, it kind of cracked out of the connector. Fix the connector, revs up to 5500 now no problem, and cruises nicely.

Re: Surging when accelerating (Matt Gruber)
Sorry, hadn't gotten much of a chance lately to mess with it. Disconnecting the vac advance did help a bit but not very much. I've done larger jets which seemed to help but it's still not gone. Power valve?
