my suggestion would be to check out the carb......take a flashlight and look down in carb while it's running,check and see if the thottle pump is working,also look to see if it's spraying right......this might not help if it's only messing up under hard throttle(can't put it under hard throttle while it's sitting in park).....but it might tell you somthing.......it sounds like it could be a carberation problem....check fuel psi too

i'm thinking that the pip is only in the computer cars,yours should have a halls effect pick up in the distributer(pretty dependable).......but a weak spark could cause the problem so it might be good to replace the ignition wires,cap and roter just to illiminate that as the cause........my theory on trouble shooting is procces off ilimination....illiminate the things that could cause the problem, starting with the cheapest thing first

good luck
