The engine runs great under 2000 RPM. Around 2200 RPM the engine surges - it will not run smoothly. I have changed the electronic ignition, rebuilt the carburator, and put a new fuel pump in it. It's a 1989 4.3L with 4 barrel carburator. It runs fine when out of water but under load in the water at 2200 RPM it misses. The problem is not solved. There is a car coil in it. Might this cause a problem? It still surges the same way. Anyone have a solution for this?

Try searching the site for sugring, bogging, not acheiving WOT RPMs or anything related to your problem. There are many more possibilities including the rest of the fuel system like the pick up tibe screen, anti siphon, distributor parts like advance springs. Many posts tell of the possible issues and solutions.
