Guys, not wishing to put you on a wrong track, but I had similar problems once with a VW Beetle. Started up fine, but would not run smoothly when revving up, whether driving or running free.
In the end it turned out a wire in the distributor connecting the rotating breaker points plate to the fixed base of the distributor had broken, so the points were badly grounded.
Took a lot of head scratching and replacing of parts to find that one!
