just rebuilt runs bad

So, you are saying that it ran at 38 AS MEASURED AT IDLE????

This is really sounding more and more like either the timing marks are not right, or the cam is out with the crank.

With the timing advanced to run "good" as per your last test, what is the timing at high RPM?


And I have to say, at this point, a second pair of eyes sounds like a great thing to have.

High RPM timing is something I haven't checked since switching to the points system (that ones to tricky for me to do by myself). I'll check it when my buddy comes over this afternoon.

I'm also going to show him how I've verified the timing mark (about 5 times now with a stop) just to make sure I'm doing it right. We'll check everything. He's an AMC guy and knows his stuff, he's also an electronics engineer but we don't like to hold that against him.
