Still need help with no power
1985 all stock. Idle is fine, open throttle and it bogs down. have done the following so far:
Fuel pressure was checked and at 30 pounds
Cat was dropped and found it has already been cleared out
air filter is clear
fuel filter replaced
voltage was checked and at 14 volts
took to shop to put on puter and it showed said knock sensor
replaced knock sensor and pig tail today
after all the above, still have same problem.
This all started after I noticed the heater core leaking and I by passed the heater core and burped the coolong system. There wasnt a lot of anti freeze spilled on engine while by passing core. Im at a loss

I'm still old school. timing set correctly to 6*, meaning with est unplugged, idling below 1000? I realize the heater core would not affect it. no water vapor inside distr cap?
I may be thinking misfire rather than bog.
can't TPS do this? no coolant splashed on it?
ideas, maybe someone can piggyback on something.
