   Snip........

   I have been following this thread with interest, and I would like to put
   some questions up for grabs regarding my Ur-Q.
   The previous owner appears to have replaced the engine with a MC, and
   definitely installed a MAC11b on my 83 Ur-Q.
   My car has a problem similar to the one reported by Phil on John's car.  In
   my case it accelerates rapidly until it gets to about 4500-5000 RPM and then
   sits there surging taking forever to get to 6000 RPM.

Sounds like the stock (U.S. trim, anyways) cam, to me. Assuming you're
not getting fuel starvation . . . (check O2 voltages!)
