'81 with CIS has an O2 sensor. It is only a single wire, no preheat type. I 
ran with a bad one for a long time. Trying to adjust the engine was 
impossible. I ran very rich.
your problem is only under load right? If the car is in neutral, and you rev 
the engine it is fine, cold or hot.
The problem MUST be simple. Most likely not electrical.
Is your timing right? (My dist is moving and it acts like you discribe. Talk 
about a PITA...)
