Thats why I asked,, I used Herculiner.
My 72 Dart had a lot of surface rust, not through rust but around the windshield leading edge where the top failed .
Took care of the rust, rollers applied the liner. When it set up, I blocked it down a bit to mimic the vinyl that was there. I then shot some low sheen black auto paint on top the liner.. Came out very nice. Other than missing the material seams, hard to tell..

Other then a paint refresh 15 years ago,, top about 3 ago, a few wear parts here n there,, all OE and untouched..
On the liner application,, after some blocking to cut the rough surface, painted, and re sand a couple times to smoooth the ‘look’.. Tough stuff, tenacious hold, easy to work with...

Some of the contributors might be,,
Vacuum leaks,
Vacuum advance issues, ported vacuum switches/lines etc, timing
EGR flow, excessive, or not under management control, off idle.
Carb accelerator pump weak or missing a healthy spray, carb Power valve can bleed (generally a hard/rich start after some hot soak time) or have stiff diagram issues.
If on a brake hold, and the throttle tipped in slightly, can you create or duplicate the stubbed you noted?

I manually shifted the car today it doesn't happen on the or near the shift. Its about 3 or 4 seconds into me pushing the pedal from a stop. It might be the old fuel lines. I have a lot of rust in my inline filter. I just put it on, and the gas tank is new. I might drop the tank. The gas gauge isnt working anyway.
