I found my problem. The timing was set too advanced.
I had used the vacuum gauge method to set the timing by :
-Run the engine to 2000 rpm
-Set the advance to max vacuum reading then retard the timing until the vacuum reading drops 2 lbs.
That certainly did not work for my engine. Way too advanced.
This came up to me when I was sleeping last night. This does not reflect well to me as I do my best thinking when I'm sleeping.
All is well again.
