Thanks guys,
I have been remiss in my barnyard duties but claim new books and much travel as my excuses.

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!

Do a recce in the storage containers in the back yard. Lots of Iltis parts.. bring me back two of each....... (just kidding of course, I think I already have 2 of each........)

Cheers!
