I have a friend helping. We removed the distributor cap and screw down cap which I have put on backwards. The mechanical advance was stuck and would not move. The plastic sections had broken thus not allowing any advance. Thus we could set timing at a point and then when the engine was revved upward there was no movement in timing. The inside of the distributor had significant corrosion.
