Cobracosta, read this thread, Dist. Advance Re-curve

It sounds like you may have a problem with your distributor. Take the cap off try and turn the rotor counter clockwise by hand. It should turn about 3/8" or so and when you let go return back to the stops. When you let go see if you can turn it clockwise. If you can it's not returning to O and is hanging up.

One other thing, could this engine have a 351 cam in it? The firing order is differant.
