David...you've got perfect compression and a Skips rebuilt distributor and a fresh carb. Fuel, Ignition, Timing and Compression...doesn't sound like a cam issue and with 14" at 850 idle...sounds to me like a vacuum leak somewhere. Is the vacuum gauge steady at 14" at idle or is it fluctuating all over the place? A vacuum gauge is like an OBD2 for old engines!
