Still looking for help I am in Talent?

As far as ajustment you never run out. You just need to pull disty up and move it by one tooth. You will have problems starting as you mention and overheating is the other thing. From what I have always known advance till pinging then back off 1 to 2 degrees and that is best timing for that set up on any gas motor.

Had kind of the same problem on car I towed home that I bought.. There is the main wire coming off the positive terimal and a smaller one. When the smaller one is not hooked up the wipers came on in my car and would not turn over. When I hooked it up everything worked fine. Hope this helps.
