...that my problems are more serious then a timing issue. here is the problem.... As I drive her the accelerationa is a little bit sluggish but not too bad, but as I come to a cruising speed the power bogs down and then the motor "chugs" (as if you changed gears to soon and you get the chugging) and it does it for the whole time you are at that speed but doesn't do it on acceration. it's a really weird thing going on here. like I said in another post this started happening after we took the the lower manifold off to fix a oil leak. I did notice that one of the clips that hold the distrib on broke off. not sure if that could cause this problem or not.
