Its frustrating that you haven’t listened to what people have been saying… yet still seek advice on the wrong questions. ---

your timing is way off, cylinder #1 will be at TDC 2 times, are you sure you have it timed right ---

Nah it was way off! We fixed it today by lining the pinhole on the distributor gear, with the notch on the distributor. It started but then the rpms jump from 500-1000 rpms in idle, until in slowly dies. In timing we are fully retarded( no more space to retard more). ---

make sure you have the oil pump sit in the right location for the distributer ---
