Hello there, I am new to this forum but was looking for some insight on this issue.

I have a '65 C code and it ran awesome, then one day it started sputtering and coughing. Almost violating shaking. I thought it was fuel related. So I attacked the fuel side first.

Here is what I did so far;

Rebuilt carb- didn't work

Replaced carb-didn't work

Replaced coil- didn't work

Replaced the condenser in the distributor- didn't work

Did a compression test- all good, got 130 to 150 PSI on all cylinders

Replaced plugs and plug wires

Verified I have spark

Disconnected the fuel pump from the carb thinking it was giving it too much pressure

I think it is getting too much fuel somehow.

Here are some pictures after I took when the carb was off today

I once had the roll pin in the drive gear shear on the distributor ,it spun the gear .took a while to figure it out . I grabbed the rotor inside the cap and it turned ,that was how i fugured it out. It is possible the timing jumped a tooth ,is there a lot of miles on the motor ?
