Hmm, I guess I'd verify your timing. Once upon a time I once changed out a TFI module but the distributor ended up retarded by a tooth. Idled OK but would not rev up and had no power. Chooched lots of white smoke out the back too, steam like. Once corrected it was back to running like a top.
Sent with my phonic while eating biscuits & mustard with French-fried taters mm-hmm.

Yes used two different gauges one snap on and both read well over 40 now, car idles fine a little bit choppy but as soon as you touch the gas it's like something is holding it back, new tfi a few weeks ago, new distributor, new coil, new fuel pump and filter. I pulled the vacuum line off the fuel pressure regulator and there's no gas and nothing changes either
If its holding 40, even if its not dropping, that won't screw it up all that much. At worst you end up with a slightly fat idle. Not the end of the world. Overall it'll run OK. I've actually done it on purpose in the past to see if anything changed, and honestly I could never tell.
Timing wrong sounds likely if the TFI was changed. Make sure you pull the SPOUT connector when checking it.
