The first thing I had time to check just recently was the fuel lines. Like Mgphoto suggested, there was a bad kink on the larger hose under the fuel tank. I had to cut the length back about 2 inches so there wasn't too much slack on the line when placing the fuel tank back down. Unfortunately, this didn't change the loss of power but it's good that I fixed that. Next up: MPS vaccuum, Fuel pump, Distributor trigger points, then valve adjustment.

If you found a bad kink, I'm pretty sure that's still your problem...since, with a bad kink, the engine wouldn't have had enough fuel to rev and allow something else to be the cause in the first place. the ideal length of hose is 22" using the coil method. See link below. Also, the fabric-covered hoses are much less prone to kinking. Before I'd move on to anything else, I'd remove the skid plate and look through the inspection hole to verify the hoses are clear. After that, check pump pressure, MPS vacuum, fuel injectors and on down the line. I'm sure you'll be back on the road soon!

Thanks Ed. Much appreciated! Hopefully I can resolve as much as I can this weekend but I'll keep you in mind and always good to meet local So Cal members.
