Default WOT popping @ 4200, problem solved FYI
If anyone was following my problem the last couple months which I thought was fuel starvation, carb problems, Pertronix ignition etc.. it turned out to be bad Pertronix Flamethrower coil. I was about to try new fuel pump then decided for the heck of it to switch coil with old stock one. Car runs to 5500 with no problems everytime. :D

Thanks for the update ! :thumbs:

I've had my share of bad luck with aftermarket coils.
Right now my 'original' Filko is back on the car. :eek:
