Yes, a friend had this exact problem years ago. We opened up the
distributor and found that a screw from one of the ignition wires
had fallen down to the bottom and was jamming the mechanical advance
closed. Removed the screw and the engine ran fine.<br>

up on jack stands for about 2 months while I did
transmission work. Upon completion, the engine was a little
had to start, but finally started. On the road test, the
engine would not rev above 2,200 to 2,400 RPM – light
bucking and missing. I have checked ignition – dwell &
timing and fuel seems OK. Almost feels like the mechanical
advance is stuck. But I’m stalled. Anyone had a similar
