Saturday, I timed it and took it for a spin.  I had it right on 10 BTDC.  Until the 3rd gear (on automatic), it didn't feel right; the engine was rumbling/shaking and wanted to shut off at red lights; had to keep it on neutral to have it rev a little bit higher.  There was clearly no power.

 

Got back home and re-read the books to try to figure out what I could have done wrong (and thinking it could be the carburator).  Turned out I missed the very first step : Unplug the Vacuum!

 

Re-timed it today, took it for a spin and WOW.  What a difference with the Ignitor II & Flame Thrower II coil.

 

People were looking at me thinking that I was crazy, since all I have in the interior right now, are the seats and a steering and the driver's console.  Everything else is out.  It didn't mather to me, it wasn't about showing off, my smiling was all about the engine.

 

More question : I replace all the points (spark plugs, rotor, dist. cap, spak plug wires,...).  On my spark plug wires, I use a heat shield on top of the boot to protect them from the headers.  The problem is that 2 or 3 of the wires pops out once in a while !  Do you guys think its a problem with the wires (AC Delco 7mm) or it's possible that I have put the shield too close to the end of the boot ?  The spark plug wires that were there before, were Accel high performance and were a little bit longer (about 2" each) and fitted better the spark plugs.

Any thoughts?

 

Also, with the module and new coil, my dwell/rpm meter does not read rpm at the coil anymore. Is it normal ?
