George, I had a tech put a timing light on it and it showed 4 degrees out. I will ask him if your assumption is or has been ruled out. Also jffr, I cannot get the distributor to turn in any direction. I honestly feel it has corroded onto the block. I dont drive often so got all winter to get this handled. The car drives well but sometimes stubles in low gear and at low rpm's. I like my stuff perfect and this is just apparently 4 degrees away.........LOL Thanks to all and I will keep informed as I go through the process.............
