Update-

Funny thing about Panteras, most of the work is done from the rear of the motor, which in my case caused me to have the banks reversed in my head. Once I got myself correctly oriented, I was able to confirm that the timing is correct and the plug wires are all routed correctly from the distributor to the cylinders.

Took apart some of the connections in the ignitions sytem and clean them. Also found that while the plug wires have been replaced, the wire from the coil to distributor cap looks to be original and the ends were badly corroded. Cleaned those up and confirmed good consistant spark.

She's alive. After some 5 years or so, 2127 is breathing again. Thanks to all for the input.

Did confirm the fuel pump is shot. Picking one of those up today. That and a couple other small fixes and hopefully she'll be on the road by the weekend for her first shakedown run.
