My car has been fully tuned. It has a T-bow Mallory electronic distributor, and the carb was rebuilt with a special T-bow R2 kit. The fuel pump was tested and it produces 7.5 psi normally, and 11 psi with the supercharger line connected. The volume flowrate is about a pint in 15 sec. The timing is set at 24 degrees @1600 RPM. The gas octane is about 100 average. The problem is that the car encounters a "dead spot" around 40 mph (it's pretty fast up till that point). Then it recovers and starts to run pretty good up to about 70 mph before wanting to top out around 80-90 mph. There's no leaking gas and the exhaust fumes don't seem heavy on unburnt fuel or smoke.
So, can anybody please give me advice or speculation as to why this car with good compression, rebuilt carb, excellent fuel pump, new elec dist and high voltage coil, all tune-up parts replaced, and new low-restrictive mufflers won't run like an Avanti's supposed too??? I'm at my wit's end. Thank you, Thank you for any suggestions.
