Im stumped, It's missing and ticking.

Seeing as how one of the things people always say in the sugestion section is that they would like to find out what the probelm really was I thought I would post an update to this little problem of mine.

I pulled the motor out of the car and sold the car as a bunch of you know (I just lost interest in the car and have too many toys as it is...and I got a real nice 73 dart to replace it :-D ). I have been cleanning the motor and getting it ready to go into my 53 pick up. Well I pulled the heads tonite and everything looked good so I pulled the front cover and what do ya know the spiffy new chain that I put in durring the rebuild skipped 2 teeth.
So I am going to order a new gasket kit and chain set for it and maybe swap cams and intakes and drop it in the 53.

I also had 2 bad distributers durring this whole thing as well.
