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

This engine ran great on test stand, it had no pressure plate or engine ground strap as it now does in the car. I installed L-100 cam when I assembled the engine. I would go to the Chevy distributor right now if I didn't know the engine ran so well on test stand with the electronic. Will try starting at half throttle but am confident it will rev up immediately.
