Since changing the fuel distributor is really not difficult I decided to put the old one back on and see what happens. It started up pretty quick and ran rough with excessive white smoke. I assume that's the excess fuel in the system burning off. Have a party to attend so can't wait for it to burn off.......hopefully it's not too long.
I will resume the quest tomorrow.

Thanks Mitch. I'm still battling mine, I suspect I need to bite the bullet and take the fuel distributor off and clean everything up. Just put a new regulator on the alternator today, battery went flat between Monday (when it started at -4) and Friday night. Good thing it didn't poop out on me in the cold.
