IN FACT, I pulled the intake and gooped up the gaskets to ensure sealing...and then fired the engine up, timing is way the hell off, BUT it would catch a bit and run rather smoother no dead assed miss sound.....so I will see later this week...

Good luck Gene, I'd want this to work out for you.

I hate to point out the obvious, but if the timing is off, I would focus attention on timing related components. :D

Gene, why don't you just by a CHICOM distributor on eBay, they aren't expensive. I had one that I sent to someone here a few years ago...

Cheap way to eliminate a potential problem?

Dizzy is fine, many new/newer parts, no vacuum advance, or weights, computer injection/timing/etc.....

It ran yesterday, rather smoothly too, but would quit like the fuel was gone....

Then check your pump. They do go bad from time to time. Just had to replace one in my dad's POS Ceefer (I hate that car more than CF PR&C mods) and that fixed a lot of issues. I'm pretty sure a well placed lit match would fix the rest of them.
