I had a similar prob te other week, turned out that the pin on the bottom of the points plate which locks into the vac adv unit had come off and the whole plate was moving a bit when under load., new set of points and some adjustment and hey Presto..it runs fine again! (still sucks too much juice tho!)

think it may by carbie as it ran fine on one in the backyard (no load) runs rich which means real good fuel return


sorry mother no points
did have a 83? land rover who's points would shut as you drove down the road had to reset them 14 time in 9 days in the vic high country

Our 80RR had a massive cough/splutter under load.
Turned out to be the battery. About 11V.
Not enough ergitrons to run the coil under load (cruise was OK).
