Well, good news. Good news is a new set of plug wires, distributor cap and rotor fixed the problem ! Runs very smooth now. The set of taylor wires that was on it was routed under the headers and around the motor mount etc. I put a new sire of DUI Firewires over the valve covers and all is good now !

So i guess next will be electric fan then new heads and cam/lifter combo.

Thanks again for everyones help and suggestions !

 Glad to hear that fixed it, but sure sorry you weren't able to spend all that money on new heads and stuff....LOL
