There has been a lot of hesitation from idle, and the timing was way off, so we thought to put the dist back in at TDC and see if that took care of having the timing way off. Plus, I had a Pertronix ignitor II I wanted to install.
Everything was very easy to put together, and my dist was off by 1, but my timing is still waay off. This did make it easier to start and less hesitation than before. Idle is back down to about 900 rather than 1100 though.
Here I will write all about my progress on restoring my GTO. Read on to see what's going on.

Finally after a year of waiting, the GTO is on the road. last week, we spend Thursday, Saturday and Sunday working on the disc brakes. Finished up everything, and the tires did not fit in the front. Monday, called up Firestone and ordered smaller front tires (215/65/15) - got them on Thursday, and they fit well. I rub on right turns, but right now I can't do anything about that. I have to install newer heavy-duty shocks to fix that.
Also changed the timing, it is WAY off, but the hesitation isn't so bad. I do stall if I don't give it enough gas from idle, but now I can floor it without a HUGE hesitation. Uncle Jim says the distributor may be off a tooth or 2.
I should make it to the Cranford Car show on Thursday, August 14th.
