If the initial timing is set TOO advanced it will cause the starter to drag and kick back similiar to the sound when the battery is low or the starter is dragging . Check your points gap and initial timing . I set mine with the trailing edge of the rotor tip pointing at the number one contact in the distributor cap with no clockwise backlash after the distributor cam screw is tightened .
