well, the dist. is certainly the cause, and as unsure how accurately he read the mark with the timing light (borrowed), he purchased a new timing light from Craftsmen, advanced the distributor until he "thinks" he saw the mark (full sunlight, tricky to see he claims), and now she's running. Put it on the highway and running 75mph with temp mid range on the scale, and power much better if not 100%.
With the timing swagged a bit, I'm hoping he doesn't have too much dialed in, and I am now suspecting the vac. capsule must be broken somehow. My guess is he just dialed in so much initial advance that the car is close and runable.
When he gets here (if he gets here) I'll throw in the dist. from my 90T and dial in, see if she's back to 100%.
Thanks for the help.
