So very stuck...
Okay I found a major opsie, only have myself to blame as I installed the distributor gear. Notice the location of the distributor rotor... this is while the motor is a TDC, so the gear is in the wrong position. I own that. Also the balancer pic is with the motor at TDC on combustion cycle. Do I need to turn the number so they cascade upward instead of downward. The Tstat is a 180, and I'm using the ram jet to bring air into the motor, so in affect it kinda has cold air intake .I no longer get any detonation or ping since i retarded the motor, but with the distributor gear in the wrong position relative to the number 1 piston it's a wonder its firing at all. This would explain why timing is all over the place. The zero on the timing tape and the zero on the timing cover match up at TDC. my thought is is it upside down.
