Finally got the new distributor in the car. What a difference in power now.
My old distributor had a worn shaft and cam gear and didn't have a good snap on the lobe for opening the points and closing them. I went with new style points system.
Took a few tries to get the timing exactly where it was happy. At first I set it with too much advance and it was pinging. Now it's dialed in. I've never timed a model a. I bought one of those Nu wrenches and wasn't very happy with the results. So I made a test light and did it the right way. I believe I can set up an A in under 5 minutes now. LOL.
So thank you for all your suggestions.
