Thanks Bill, i read through all the info which I believe I understand. What threw me was the rotation of the distributor. The conversion I followed was the one that you linked here a little while back. I set my phasing according to what that said. What struck me the other day was that that particular distributor rotated counter clock wise and I believe mine rotates clockwise in which case I would have my phasing backwards and would need to correct the phasing.
