Timing problem

Added 10w40 oil

Oil pressure went from 20psi fully warmed up.....to 40psi
On start up I get 65psi

The car surges really bad when I step on the gas. It idles great.
Could be the points. They have not been adjusted yet.
This thing sat so long......the list of getting it fully operational is long.

I upgraded the dash light to led and ran new wires and 30 amp relays to the head lights

Considering a volt meter conversion where the amp gauge is.
Replacing the heater ducts with shop vac hose
Changing the old wiper seals.
And some other minor electrical stuff.

It takes a lot of TLC sometimes after they sit a while. You can get a semi-stock semi-high performance electronic distributor from Halifaxhops if I got his name right. It may be two "L's" He is a member here. He can tell you what kind of electronic ignition control module and blast resistor to use. I use a PB Blaster coil with mine and man did it "ever" pick up the performance. All stock parts should run you under $200 for the conversion. If you are good with electrical, you should have no prob hooking it up. But you will need some wiring diagrams to get you there. I recommend finding the wiring diagrams first, then get the parts. Halifaxhops really hooked me up with an awesome distributor for my 360. I was running points, then I had a buddy converted mine to electronic, was running a stock elec. distributor for the longest time. Then I found Halifax and my engine really improved again with the distributor he sold me. I can find him if you want to talk to him in here. Lemme know.
