Set the points to .016" (which incidentally put my dwell at 28* 
) and set the timing at 6*btdc.. also checked the plug gap, set them all to .035" (couldn't remember the spec, so I figure thats a pretty generic setting). The number 1 and number 4 plugs were completely closed, all the others were fine, with the exception of number 8 which was oil-fouled but with the same gap.. What would have caused two of the plugs to close up? Looking down the hole I didn't see any signs of a valve hitting.....
Anyways, it runs a lot better now. still not perfect, but a LOT better. I'm picking up some copper non-suppression wires and new plugs Saturday. For plugs I'm switching from Autolite 86 (resistor type) to Champion J8C (non-resistor, also was the stock plug used from what I've read) or Autolite 295 (non-resistor) depending on whats a better deal..
