Great news guys,
So after i finished the wiring up the coil; and heat wrapping the it, i went over everything again made sure everything was tight and what not i was able to to test drive it with no issues yesterday driving it around my block.
started up just fine on cold start i let it warm up, it held at 160F while driving/idle. all the power was there at acceleration as well as great throttle response.
later this evening im gonna let it idle fpr about 40 mins to see what the temp looks like and test drive it for at a father distance to make sure everything is up to par.
Looks like the coil was the final culprit of my power loss and bogging issue.
Thanks everyone for all your input! Im sure this post will help others in the future thanks to every ones detailed responses.
ill post on here again later after the final test drive to let everyone know if its running great or if i run into anything else.
Cheers!
