replace the distributor with a new hei unit there dirt cheap and run great

also you could have a bad aftermarket ignition ...if you have a msd or anything else bypass it and run the stock ignition

only other thought is change all plugs and wires

this is a long shot but timign chain problem would casue it not to rev if it skipped a tooth but that unlikely

put and hei in it
