Outer side of each inlet manifold is a 90 deg rubber elbow joining the manifold to a 10mm dia steel pipe across the rear of the engine as you look in.
Checked all connections and did just that when I got back...got her up to 60 on flat country road, but still got the pick up delay at junctions....but I can live with that.
No that's the central idling. Neat and tidy. I should have asked if you have a servo, if yes the connections will be other side of the manifold.
Is the dizzy tightened down? Try to turn it by hand without loosening the bolt. If it moves that’s what’s wrong. The long downhill fouling the plugs may be the issue or a red herring.
Or... sticking with the prolonged overrun/high manifold vacuum theory, could it be something as simple as a blocked jet or one of the idle passages? Whereby the vacuum has sucked some crud from it's resting place and now causing an issue?
In case I don't resolve things, has anyone any recomendations for air cooled garages in the Plymouth area?
I had this hunting business on an old car, turned out to be alternator, check your charging voltage, just an idea.

Quick update, decided to go North on M5, after an iffy start on country roads, she has performed well, stopped at services and tickover now high....will adjust it back when I get to my destination. Obviously was fouled plugs/ bit of crap somewhere.
The last thing I would do is start fiddling with the carb adjusting screws especially just one side, if they go out of balance you will get overheating problems.
Didn't touch mixture screw, just increased tick over slightly to stop the stalling...just had to return it to the original position now whatever the problem was has sorted itself.
