could my distributer not be grounded good i left it loose to get the timing set and havnt tightened it yet because the running issue

The coil body needs no ground. Positive in from run circuit; Negative to dist. That's it.

Check and clean the block to firewall ground. Add another. Ohm neg battery to the whole car. Grounds bad , do funky things...
