Alright guys, I've been battling this for quite some time now and I'm just not understanding why this car won't go. I put dual empi carbs on it, in link below, and a non vacuum distributor. In the driveway this car will rev up no problem, sounds great, take it out for a spin and put it under a load, about 45-50 is all I can seem to squeeze out of it. Whats going on?
Thanks http://www.ebay.com/itm/VW-TYPE-2-BUS-PORS...366&vxp=mtr |

I'm guessing the problem is ignition related. Either the timing or dwell is off, or you may have a sticking advance plate. Trouble shooting your car on the internet is difficult at best.
