Bluedog,
I'm thinking like Commander. But, if the timing is correct, how strong is your spark?
Years ago I had a severe starting problem. Once while trying to determine what the problem was, I happened to have the hood up and was looking into the engine compartment while cranking the engine. I saw an arc jumping from the middle of the coil wire to a nearby metal bracket. That bugger was robbing most of the energy before it was getting to the plugs.
That pinhole in the coil wire was nearly invisible to the eye.
