Car's throttle cutting out need help.

[rtsb]

I finally have my 73 Dodge Charger running well it has a 400bb with a new 2 bbl I had a place down the street that specializes in working on carb cars do the work. I had headers and flow masters put on and found my advanced vacuum on my distributor was bad while doing the tune up. It has a hesitation when ever I stomp on the throttle but if I'm easy on it I don't feel it at all.I asked the manager about it his mechanic said the all the old cars have this.
Question 1 - I had this same car back in 1982-85 and never remember it doing this I'm I losing it at age 51 lol.
Question 2 -If this is true that other forum members have the same issue how do I fix this ? Question 3 - Do I go with a aftermarket distributor to get away from this ?
Any info or help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Step 1: fire your mechanic for that statement.

Step 2: find a friend who knows carbs. Sounds like a lean bog.

Get a refund from the carb "specialists".

Any car shows around? Just ask for help there, I'm sure you'll get plenty offers to take a look at the carb.

There shouldn't be a hesitation or bog unless it isn't getting enough gas, or is getting way too much.  Since it is a 2 barrel, I would start by checking the accelerator pump to make sure it is working as it should.

51 can be a lost cause.  (spent the afternoon thinking I was 52, but 16-65 isn't that)

Careful who you get to work on your car. Jot down your current settings just incase you need to return it back.

I'm leary of help from strangers now. When I was a kid in high school a neighbor of a friend offered to adjust my valves, god only knows why I agreed. He adusted them as you would a hydraulic cam, only problem was it was a solid lift cam 

I ended up sorting it out myself and being more selective on who I asked for help. I also find these days not many mechanics know much about "old technology" Learn and do it yourself.

On another note I had a car dyno tuned a while back and took it back as it fell flat mid rpm before pulling hard again. It would cough and sputter. They said it was normal as the engine loaded increased.  Needless to say I wont be going back to them....
