Default Re: Engine dies under load.

So I added the new fuel pump and distributer which made no difference.
I sprayed some ether around the intake/exhaust manifold and the engine idle did speed up. Could a leaky manifold cause it to die under load like it is?
I thought it was a bad fuel pump which it wasn’t then I thought the vacuum advance wasn’t performing on the old stock dizzy so I replaced the whole dizzy which didn’t make a difference. I took the carb apart again and went through the instructions which I’m 99.9% sure it’s put together properly.
