I'll re time her tomorrow and see how she runs.
Thanks everyone for the great advice.

Check that your points haven't closed up. New points tend to close up more during the first few hundred miles. During the first hundred miles they can close up to half what you set them at. Set your points fist, then the timing. I set mine at .020. When the points close up it will change the timing and the car will run poorly. When you reset the points to what you previously had them at when you set the timing, the timing will return to the previous setting.
