I had a very similar problem many years ago with my 71 Duster stocker. Changed everything, ignition, fuel system, trans, convertor, etc. etc. Nothing I did made any difference so far as being faster or slower. Turns out the 8 3/4 rear end housing had bent after MANY years of use and abuse. I didn't have a brace welded on at that time. The way I found it was I was going to install my spare hogshead to see if that was the problem. It was near impossible to remove the axle shafts. It might be worth looking at.
