First I have a 57, Ford 312 , 57 dizzy , Holley 570 CMF carb. New plugs, was running good. Started to notice that under rpm around 3500 plus rpm. The tach started showing some goofy behavior.. would pull steady till the 3500* range motor stared a slight surging, tach. Show crazy needle movement, but rpm sounds some what steady.
When trying to find out what was happening. Check vacuum it showed 18 psi, timing 9 deg .
Look thing over but do not know what it might be. As before I need you great advice as to what going on and where, and what to do to fix issues.

I see your car has O/D. There should be an extra wire leading from the kickdown switch to the distributor. The purpose of this wire is to momentarily ground the distributor so the transmission O/D can down shift. The kickdown switch is open to the elements and can be troublesome. Temporarily remove this wire to see if it may be affecting your problem. I had all kinds of intermittent ignition trouble with mine, so I disconnected it. I have been told leaving this wire connected will blow a Pertronics unit.
