I don't know the history of engine.
Did you ever drive this car with this engine?
If it was rebuilt any cam changes.
Did you put the goodie on engine.
I want you to try and pump gas pedal few times and then hold half way down then start it and see if it reeves up quick.
These electronics dist. all ways pop up and as many times they do never hear a answer. That flathead will most likely NEVER SEE 5,000 RPMS
My best fix for you is put the dist. with points stock or Chevy dist. from Buba.
Good Luck
