i had a tick that turned out to be one of my lifters, i think it maybe my plug wires, i started it last night and i didnt see any arking, compression tested at 160-65, plugs are golden brown, put a new rotor and distributer cap on today, seemed to smooth things out a bit. but it still going down the road at 1500-2000 and flooring it craps out and backfires through the carb, but ive checked my timing many times and its good, i think its mixed bag of problems
