New Non CC dist is acting up
So after having multiple issues with my last Accel distributor, I went with a non CC MSD dizzy. I already see a difference in performance and get a little better MPG, but now I am having problems. When I sit at a light the car starts to bog a bit, almost feels like it is misfiring and has a hard time accelerating but after maybe 30 MPH snaps right back to running fine. The plugs and wires are fairly new and I really doubt that is the problem, but I have been wrong many times before. Any ideas as to what could be the culprit?

Could not say about timing as I had a local shop do it due to a waranty on my Accel, and its the roch quad

Doesn't sound like anything having to do with the dist. More like, it's now the hotter season of the year.
Sounds more like fuel boiling in the carb. Especially if, it's UNBEARABLE after parking for a short time and then starting up and trying to drive (stop at the store type thing), but then clears up and acts normal within a minute or so.

Yeah, I didn't know how that combo would play out but I hadn't heard anything bad with it, granted IDK how many people tried it.
It should be running the dizzy off a vacuum line

I would start with the obvious tune up stuff. Pull a plug and see how it looks. Check the gap on it. If its a new dizzy, I doubt it would be acting up.
