It should be the 283. I'm just assuming, since ford's 4.6 is a 289.
If your not sure find some numbers on the engine. www.mortec.com has pretty much any chevy small block number.1973 Chevy Nova

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
