I suspect that the rebuild was not necessary, but you probably 
enjoyed doing it anyway.

The first thing to do would be to make sure that you're tuning it up 
correctly. The 72 is unique and the ONLY manual that gives correct 
instructions for this year is the Bentley. What have you been using?

You should also make sure that the mechanical advance 
mechanism in your distributor is working properly.
