First a list of what I changed, the engine completely stopped, so no electric, changed coil, new distributor with rotor, cap, condenser, new plugs. I also changed electric fuel pump. It was also not working. Finally got the engine to run well, but it has no power, have been able to drive on flat ground, but slightest grade will not pull. I
found compression with spark plug number one, marked the cap for number one plug and then put spark plug wires in place. Damper pulley was also set to zero.

Hello,

It sounds like you need more advance on the timing, I would move it so your have at least 6 degrees of advance.

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken
