Right now the only culprit of the problem is the couple of weak valve springs.

I would think that would cause an engine miss and lack of power for sure.
Now am I to understand your putting (or already have put) another engine
in her? If so how is She running now?
What's your plan? Or have I missed it again?

I have put a fresh motor In it while I fix this one. She runs very well except for the carb is the same old two barrel so it jumps and surges like it always used to before I replaced it.
My plan is to fix my engine, engine #2, and put it back in with new COMP springs and my towing cam.

Well I would, but it's not my engine to really modify, the ol man is letting me use it "on loan" while I fix mine. So I have to keep it the way he wants it.
When I swapped from this one to my edelbrock on my engine, it made a world of difference on how it started Ran and drove. Even on 6 cylinders. Eddy has a new fan!
