I'm officially stumped. I made sure the distributor drive gear is installed
correctly as per Bentley, double-checked TDC according to valves and piston.
Made sure rotor is pointing to correct cylinder (#1) at TDC, am getting good
spark, set timing at 7 degrees BTDC while turning it over, Tried different
coil. HT wires are going where they should. If I wind it over and over
eventually it will sort of start very roughly with max RPMs at 2500, stinks
like gas, and will stall if I don't keep foot on gas. It doesn't matter now
which combination of points or dizzy I shove in there, won't go. Plugs are
now sooty and black. Never shoulda F**d with it I guess because it was
running fine before I swapped the dizzy.

I should also mention that I replaced all the short hoses to injectors
before changing dizzy, but no, I don't have injector wires crossed and I've
looked at them ten times and the injector plugs are in right, no gas leaks.
Triple-checked that I don't have any vacuum lines off, wire to cpu from coil
is attached, temp II wire still connected.

This is a simple engine so what the hell is going on?
