I agree it sounds like your timing could be way out. Once you've confirmed
that it's OK, you'll want to start looking at the fuel system. Is this a
dual-carbed engine? If so you have several factors to check and some tuning
to do, in any case.

=>  i noticed that the vac on the dist. is corked off,

In which case, if it's a vacuum-only distributor, it won't advance at all.
There should be a spring on the advance plate to hold it at zero advance.
Other than missing parts, extreme wear and dirt, there's not a lot that can
go wrong with a distributor. You'll be much happier with the stock
distributor compared to an 009.
