my motor starts to stumble around 4000 rpms. It gets worse the higher i try to to take it but it runs pretty much fine below 4000. I just changed the fuel filter and spark plugs. Also it has pertronix installed. What could be the problem? please help me figure this out. Summer is almost over and I dont wanna put it on jack stands yet.

I think the TPS adjustment just sets for closed throttle. TPS tells the ECU the throttle is closed so it can go into overrun shutdown, if it's an ECU with that feature.... Otherwise, TPS sends pulses that tell ECU throttle is openning, as in acceleration, so it can richen....

I have a '76, and try as I may, I can't get to to run right without a 270 ohm ballast resistor in the CHT line. Supposedly, '76 did not originally have one, only '73. Anyway, does yours have the resistor? It plugs directly into the CHT, and then the other end plugs into the harness. If not, you might try it.

Your old TS2 may have stabilized hot to a higher resistance, leaving you with a richer mixture than you're getting with your new one. You should try measuring your CHT in the morning- should be around 2500 ohms. After a run, try again- should be down to 50 or so. Why did you change TS2 anyway?

The other thing RPM-related is your EFI breaker points in the distributor. How new are they? I suppose they could bounce around at higher RPM and cause some strange things, but it doesn't explain the fact that it runs OK when cool...
