It turned out the distributor gear shaft pin sheared.
Great timing, 3 tankfuls of gas into my ownership.
Car's completely apart right now, but the diz is fixed and ready to install tomorrow morning.
Plugs are pulled so I can crank and see oil pessure, then we find #1 TDC and locate the distributor position, reinstall plugs and we should be back in business.
It's been a hell of a week.
