Hard starting assistance please.

Wow a lot of this thread was lost in forum update and I don’t remember where we were. @Challngd73 Did you buy a crate engine? Can you refresh my memory of what’s happened in the last few weeks?
That’s the engine that is in my car now. I talked with blueprint and discovered the original crate motor had the gm style hei distributor in it from blueprint. It was too big to go in my engine bay so the msd 8388 was reused from my last motor. Josh from blueprint has been walking me through the timing specs for my motor(mechanical advance only w/no vacuum advance 34*all in by 3500 rpms). Also have msd blaster 2 coil otw that recommends no ballast resistor. This wiring has 55 years of “fixes” and I’m about done with trying to figure out all these brittle wires and where they are supposed to go, and how to bypass this plugging what wire where. Frustrated
