After reading this problem over from first post i,m still bashing the dist.
There is maybe one more thing that has been over looked.
The timing of the of the points.
Seeing the a 2 points you have a make and brake set.
So the dist turns counterclock wise and when the first set makes,
the other is made and when it brakes "AT that time a spark should be
at slot time,putting spark say 12 oclock and slot same time.
"The rotor maybe right"" but the points cam is off"
say cam was off 30 degs and cap off 10 dges being off 40 total.
If these are new parts they could be made wrong.
Slot time is TDC,spark has to be same time,and the rotor lined up with cap.
This can be done and NO Machine is needed turn by hand.
I hate after market junk sorry.
