Stalls out at 4400 RPM, Stumped! Options

[Mblizzard]

Well I am a bit confused on this one. 2056 dual Webers. Electronic ignition. New SVDA dizzy. Rev limiting rotor.

Pulled the tank to install SS lines and had a few problems with crimping the lines when putting the tank back but I think I have that worked out. Compression good at 130 plus on all. Timing set at 30 BTDC.

Car runs strong up to exactly 4400 rpm and then it sounds like it hits a wall. Can run it long and hard at rpms below so I am not thinking it is fuel limited. Swapped out the rev limiting rotor with standard one but same thing happens.

I am going to pull the tank again to be sure on the lines. Any other thoughts?

Just so many things to go back through and verify at this point.

Do the basics....timing, valve adjustment, plugs, wires, cap etc.

Well while I may be a slow learner, I have picked check the basics up from all of the help I have received here. I set the valves when the engine was out. Checked them multiple times. Ran compression test all 135 plus. Timing is at 30 degrees. Plugs look good maybe a little rich but not bad. Wires are new and removing one at a time shows all are firing. Cap and rotor are new and not burnt. Carbs were not changed other adjusting after setting timing and balancing.

Won't get to work on it until Thursday. This work thing is a drag.

But it never hurts to be reminded to do the basics. That advice from those on this board has saved me a lot of grief. Regardless of what you think you know, that advice will always be sound.

So I have to look at the lines and filters or just dump it on Jakes door and hope he will fix it for free? Just have to get past that gate thing! Seriously at some point Jake will be doing the engine just got to save a few more dollars.
