#252035 okay, im done. after surgically diagnosing everything, the valve cover is leaking oil rigth around my distributor. i pryed it open again, and took a closer look. sure enough, there was oil in there. so i knew what to do. pulled the valve cover, replaced the gaskets. replace distributor cap and rotor. verified plug wire resistance, put in some new plugs. turned the key, and she fired right up. set the timing with my timing light, and now shes good to go. doesnt come all the way up to temp though, so next im gonna drain coolant, swap hoses, and pop in a new thermostat. i want to thank everybody who helped contribute. thanks again! oh yea, im thinkin about a short ram too. i still have the stock intake.
