I'd check the basics first, did you pull the dist vacuum line & block it.( I've done that a few times. ) Does it have a roller cam ? Could be the cam walking back & forth a little , cam button or retainer ? Sounds more like a vacuum problem.Tomorrow is promised to no one.

I did not know Mike very well, we exchanged some messages from time to time but from what I understand he was a very good man. I was sad to learn about this
