[Tigers] Barely running - suddenly - input pls?

[CoolVT at aol.com]

Could be an ignition-timing problem, but if the car  ran okay when it was 
put away and then wouldn't run right when restarted it  doesn't sound like 
ignition....unless there is more than one  problem.

Moving the distributor to full lock right may indicate that  the
distributor gear is worn or your timing chain is worn.   One  of them
probably jumped a tooth.

Couple of loving  taps and the fuel new pump came to life.
As Mayf had said in a message to  me, the loose distrib nut was probably a
lark. I cranked it while fully  loosened and it didn't rotate. Something 
else
is amiss. I slowly moved the  dist around while I cranked and it only came 
to
life near full lock right,  but ran poor. Spoke to Tony. Will try some
things. Probably after the  weekend. This cat's staying home from the  
party.
