PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been "tinkering" with cars and tractors for over 45 years and have never had such a simple situation seem so complex. In the haste of putting this thing back together, I dropped the distributor in wrong. When I put the timing mark on "O", the rotor was pointing to about the #4 plug wire. No way could it run decently with the timing this far off. I removed the distributor and aligned it correctly and the car runs fine. The old saying "haste makes waste" is so true. I was rushing and failed to pay close attention to details and put the distributor in wrong -- so embarassing. Thanks to all of you for pointing me in the correct direction of my error. You all have been very helpful.
Good deal, now where's dinner? 
. Now drive
