Assuming the basics like compression I'd look at timing since if it's too far retarded it will radically affect power.

Ya, I even went out and got a new fancy timing light to the tune of $100. The little do-wangy is supposed to be EXACTLY ON THE MARK since there is no scale, right? The chilton manual said line up the bead exactly with the pointy thing. Normally this is top dead center, but I'm assuming the manual is correct?

I'll double check the compression...

thanks!
