lurching down the street

cranky russian, thanks for the humor: "are you sure you trying to rotate proper nuts in proper
direction? " i know those britts are silly enough to drive on the wrong side, but twisting bolts the wrong way?? no, that bad boy is stuck big time. as far as the rest of your recommendations, it would seem that plugs (bosche plantinum) are clean, wires to distrib. are new, no whine. thanks
landy man, your lingo is a bit over my head. am searching the manuel for "advance unit" and dizzy is distributer? there are only two ends to that hose distrib. and plenum. and you detect the leak how? will run this by the mechanic to see if he can figure it out. nice guy, but unfamiliar w/ landrovers; only other option here is to see the dealer. $$$$$$$$$$$$ not going there.
sounds like we have the same animal in our driveway, 5 speed, 3.9
it's too dark to play tonite, will start again in the am.
thanks everybody for the input!!

You will be surprised how much better your truck will run once you get rid of that old plugged filter.
