I was able to time the engine once I rotated the distributor two teeth further away from the intake runner(clockwise). However, I timed it to 10 degree BTDC and it ran horrible. I used my vacuum gauge to complete the timing since it was off the timing pointer at this point. By the time I had the highest vacuum(18) the mark on the balancer was almost straight up and under the waterpump. What could be wrong at this point? Looking for ideas at this point. Thanks for help so far!!!
