And if I put it to the floor it starts to bog-out. Also, my dist. Rotor sits passed #1 cyl. Halfway to the next.

Compression good, new fuel filter, plugs, cap n rotor, fuel press. Good. I also adj. My air/fuel mixture and now it idles high. Start-ups fine idles great just too high and no misfires. PLEASE HELP THK YOU.

You probably have to disconnect something before you adjust the idle speed-the idle speed should be controlled by the computer-also look for a vacuum leak

Now it won't accelerate passed 35-45 mph, it also has hard starting when it's cold and I checked my manifold vaccum pressure and it fluctuates at idle and during acceleration, (vibrates).
