Default First Convoy of the New Year

Bob and I rolled out our CMPs this afternoon. The weather has changed for the colder so there is less mud to worry about. Bob's truck started on the very first crank, but the HUP took a little more time to fire up. After warming up for a few minutes, we headed up the road to Bob's house. Unfortunately, my engine wasn't running all that well.

Back at the barn, I checked the wires, plugs and dizzy. All seemed in order. On restart I got the same problem - the engine seemed to be missing resulting in rough acceleration. We did not check the timing as time was running out and I had to head for home.

So, given a 235 engine with a manual choke, what would cause it to idle nicely, but get rough when accelerating? Any thoughts?
