Got everything back together, mostly new stuff. Now, it is very hard to start in the moning, or if its been sitting for a couple hours, when I try to give it gas to keep it running, it backfires through the intake a few times (pop)

Is this a symptom of the distributor being "one tooth off"? Rocker arms not adjusted right? (stock rockers) When it's warmed up, it runs ok, no backfiring, just real sluggish, no low end torque really.

Where should I start to troubleshoot? :shrug:

My dad set the timing, with the spout connector out. 10* if I rememer right. Although, I'm not too sure about the whole BTDC, or ATDC thing, and am thinking perhaps this is simply a timing issue?
