Thanks guys. I wish I understood the circuitry as  the rest of you. I am going to get the right cap. Just didnt make sense. I do have a hei dist that needs new parts and a new coil. I would like to get the car running before I put that dist in. extra money. I spent a decent bit refreshing the motor. Well now i have heard it run, and that made me smile. One interesting thing is that I found a vaccum leak while working the timing so much. Due to me having the compressor off there was a bolt hole through the intake. As soon as I realized this I plugged it up with a bolt.

Plugging that hole in the intake should have made a huge difference!!

Its alive! I have a hole or two in my radiator but my car has never sounded so good. Good feeling, very good feeling to have had the motor mostly apart fix and update stuff then have it run amazing. I still have things to do to get it to run even better but I am for sure happy. Thanks again for all of the help!
