me 81' gtv6 plows the road in style once on the way.however when pulling away from standstill i get an annoying hesitation.i must goose the gas pedal.i'm thinking a balking afm till it gets loose or perhaps a small airleak someware???? i've timed her exactly and tried advanced as well with no change to the tune.wish i had one of those smoke machines to eliminate or find an air leak.any suggestions?

i seemed to have found the problem.on inspecting for leaks i was checking the vacume lines running from the distributor to the throttle body.one was tight but the other seemed a bit loose.so i changed it.i'm kinda surprised that only that fixed the hesitation.
