I believe the '76 has the electronic fuel injection (Don't know what you call it). There are 2 sets of points below the ignition points that control the timing of the injectors. If they get dirty or oilly, the car will run bad. Usually just need a cleaning.
I'm sorry of I have my years mixed up but maybe someone old like me may remember.
