just cant get the car to run right

RedFish said
Was there a time when it ran fine with the new dist' ?
Firring order and reluctor gap correct ?
If a sudden running problem inspired your replacing the dist' it may have jumped time at the chain.Just a one tooth jump will result in the symptoms you have

There was a time it ran right with the old distributor and carb. I got it and drove it a total of about 30 miles or so, then one day in a paking lot after It had driven fine, it started spitting and puking gas out of every carb orriface.

It had some crap feedback carb on it, so I came upon a 73 dodge truck carb, rebuilt it and put it on, ran better, but about the same as it does now. So I got that Autoline carb from Rockauto, I think it was bad, cause it ran worse then it does with the old carb, so I replaced the dist, cap, rotor etc and RA is sending another carb and we can see what happens
