Strange power loss...

Strange power loss...
Well, while making my 4th run at an autox last weekend, something happended on my 80 that I have not been able to identify yet. When pulling under load, my car is down severely on power, almost bogging out. My first though was fuel delivery. Checked the pump for operation (holley blue). Replaced the fuel filter (though I was able to blow through it with little resistance). Adjusted the pressure regulator (holley blue). Checked the inlet screens on both carbs, and checked the float level on both carbs. Everything seems to be okay on that side. Next checked the spark. Have been running DLIDFIS for awhile. Checked all three coils. Replaced plugs and wires. Checked cap & rotor (about 1000 miles on that). Adjusted the timing. Found nothing wrong there. I am at a loss. I tried several different timing setups, replaced the regulator with straight line to make sure that it wasn't malfunctioning, and resynced the carbs.
I am running the RE Dual Weber 36DCD setup and have the full RB Exhaust. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I don't have much hair left to pull out...

check compression?, oil injection. make sure that the the oil injectors are getting proper vacum and the linkage isn't stuck. maybe bad gas. and jsut outa curiosity what is DLIDFIS said for and what is it?

dual leading ignitor direct fire ignition system
do a search for it in this forum and you will understand. Oil injection system is intact and seems to be functioning as it should. It has a great idle, so I don't know if a compression loss fits the bill, but I may be in denial. I don't have a guage to check it, so that will have to come later, I guess.
Motor only has 73,000 miles on it. I will pray that compression is not the problem...
