car idles okay and revs okay but, sometimes on take-off it jerks, like almost want to cut out. Also, when changing from first to second it will **** like it want's to cut out. By pressing the accelerator more it does not cut out. I checked with a Carburetor Specialist and he said it is more like the distributor. Please advise how to service the distributor.

Do you have a check engine light?

Could be caused by one of the following below

Oxygen sensor.
Catalytic converter.
Fuel injectors dirty/sticking.
Mass airflow sensor/Airflow meter.
Throttle position sensor.
Crankshaft position sensor
Knock sensor
Manifold absolute pressure sensor.
EGR Valve
Fuel pressure regulator leaking or defective fuel pump.
False air leakage.
Fuel contamination.
Foul/defective spark plugs.
Open spark plug wires.
Ignition coil/Coil packs defective.
Incorrect ignition timing.
Cap and rotor.

Note:If it doesn't apply disregard it
