After the third set of old heat exchangers on my '73 1.7 FI, I finally buttoned up exhaust leaks and now the car has started bucking/hesitation. All new ignition parts, timing, TPS exchanged with a new one, no difference. No known vacuum leaks. I can drive the car and it has power, but I have to drive "around" the hesitations. Fuel pump was replaced too. I'd like it to run better while I finish the 2056 carb engine. Ideas? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Since it's on acceleration, check that your vacuum advance is working. Also check the mechanical advance moving nicely? All springs in place? Timing set right (@3500 with vac advance hoses unhooked and plugged)? Are the FI trigger points clean? Check the resistance; it should be very low.

distributor is a good thought since you did mention they went though it twice.
Fuel pressure should help rule out some things.
the MPS i gave you said it helped but did not solve it.
Makes me think fuel.
Kind of frustrating that trying to fix the cars leaks actually happened to make it worse.
Its not a consistent buck, its only under certain load conditions and RPM.
Im not sure its the TPS though.
This is the huge problem i have with all the people that say keep the stock injection, its a huge pain to troubleshoot and often its a shot in the dark.
Carb problems are usually straight forward.
