This is from yesterday, it's not as jumpy since i tightened the reluctor gap slightly. This seems to be an obvious ignition/distributor issue to me.

Put a timing light on your damper and look for scatter at 3500 plus rpm.
My issue was a worn out advance plate that wouldn't advance smoothly. I fixed mine with a new distributor, MP/Mallory.



Thanks. Dropping in another distributor I have on hand is an option, I'll go to storage and grab it. It can't hurt at this point.
