have you verified that the mechanical advance works properly? If its not doing it's thing, that might be the haze on acceleration. Spark needs to happen earlier as engine RPM increases or it won't burn efficiently.

I drive a Lincoln. I can't be bothered to shift like the peasants and rabble rousers -
As mentioned in WAYWO, this car and its engine bay got a quick spray-down with a turbo nozzle on a power washer. Looks a little less sad without the layer of dirt.
Organizing stuff in the garage, I stumbled upon a project for this car that I haven't gotten to yet.
The '83 has crank-operated vent windows. The cranks are large round knobs.
A bunch of years ago in a junkyard, I found a '68 Continental with small cranks that look like window cranks for its vent windows.
I took those with the intent of retrofitting them onto my '83, and tonight I found the pair of cranks.
Unfortunately, the Panther crank knob has a long snout to reach the recessed splined shaft to operate the window, and the 1968 parts do not, so they can't be used.
Fuel system issues mentioned recently in the thread are not resolved and I'm hoping to deal with those this year, but I guess we'll see.Comment

I wonder if you can find a splined extension in the correct spline count and size.
