Check the fuel pressure with a fuel gauge designed for your fuel system-Possible problem with the main metering circuit or the power valve on the Carby-Sometimes could be a weak ignition coil-Let me know what you find

you sould have to look around , you may have to get an adapter to fit, iwould imagine going to an auto parts store and see if they ahve anything. A weber progressive two barrel is a good carb, but no sure you can adapt it to that.
