I have recieved my distributor back and after installing it in 180 degrees out of phase I now have it working and running smooth. I will be leaving for Vintage Power Wagons on Mothers Day and hope to give it some testing once I start my vacation. I will keep everyone informed. So far easy installation as far as Pertronix unit goes my trouble was with finding tdc of cylinder 1. I tried using acces port above cylinder 6 but gotit wrong. Next tried the old finger over spark plug hole until pressure build stopped while hand rotating engine. Once I found this I checked position of #1 on the distributor and easily found the problem. I did the 180 and it started instantly and purred. I will rebuild carb and see how it goes. See ya all at Iowa Rally
