I will start with the timing. I drove this car 100K miles with timing at 8' all in at 35' . Ran awesome. it was a Mustang eater in the 80's . You are right in assuming a 323 gear .
I appreciate the advice as I am not the sharpest tool in the shed . It takes me awhile to get things right. I hope your all correct and my problems aren't deeper. Maybe I can get some time this weekend to play with it.
