Beyond Frustrated - Wont start/stay running

Well today I got some fabulous news! it is finally running properly!! so good in fact, that it was never this smooth before.

Seeing that I replaced everything in the ignition system since this whole thing started, my vacuum readings didnt fluctuate, and the carb was pulling fuel after I replaced the distributor gear, and the timing was jumping still, it had to be something with in the distributor. So while I was at Carlisle there was a guy selling rebuilt distributors. He had a lot there and a few for slant sixes. So the one I picked up was for a 68 Dart. Last night I got some time and installed it. Needless to say (after screwing with timing and all) it runs flawlessly!!

Thank you everyone for your help and patience in getting me through this!

By the way, the guy I got the distributor from was Pete's Classic Car Parts, Ebay store: Antique vintage parts, ebay name: classic50ply. Really nice guy and gave me a good deal on the distributor to boot!
