Ok.  Some feedback.  Here is what we found, the plug wires were not in the correct order, 1 and 2 were backwards.  Replaced the Vacuum advanced canister, and did replace the power valve.  Also cleaned the plugs and checked compression, that was all good.  Also put on a MDS ignition coil, 45k.  I have to set the timing by driving it around.  Its in pretty good.

So the richness problem is now fixed.

Thanks.
