I may try that it wouldnt hurt i suppose. I just dunno what could have gotten in! I left the breather on the whole time and left the old plugs in just to prevent that.

The timing is wrong.
Pull the cap off, pull out the number one spark plug. Have an assistant tap the key until you feel compression. (this might take a couple trys you need to get the motor close to tdc) with the key off turn the engine clockwise until the timing mark is at zero. Look at the rotor. that is roundabout where the #1 wire has to be.
If it is not where you'd like it now is the time to pull the distributor and clock it acccordingly.
Reinstall cap, wires, and the #1 plug. start engine and time
Its important to keep the engine moving clockwise when turning it w/ a wrench. you dont want to loosen the balancer bolt or take the slack out of the timing chain.

Yeah i was thinking about just starting over since idk how off the po had everything done. Im ju hoping the outer ring on the balancer hasnt slipped over time like the one on my car had and a few other vehicles ive worked on.
well it was what i expected the po had the dizzy in wrong aparently and just rerouted the plug wires to it would run so i pulled it out and set it back in right. she starts right up now! i had to buy a new batt. and some parts for the carb linkage but it wasnt too bad. once i get my vacume gauge back from my buddy at work ill get to tuning it a little better but for now it runs well enough to take it and get it inspected. sounds pretty cool at wot and part throttle with just the high flow cat and some 3in pipe after it but its way too loud at idle and trashy sounding lol.
po and dizzy makes me dizzy bro and I don't knows where CoCo is
