Well, finally finished fixing the headgasket and putting everything back together after procrastinating for a couple months. Its running ok, but while trying to set the base timing, it won't run at 10 degrees. It runs fine at 5 degrees, but if I try to advance it any more, it just suddenly dies. If ya'all got any ideas, I'd like to hear them. Thanks.

Yeah your probably a tooth off. Here is what I do to make sure I have a full range of timing. When you get TDC on the #1 compression stroke the timing pointer will be at "0", since these cars run at 10, make TDC 10. Get "0" then turn past it to 10, now drop the dizzy in and center the rotor on #1 in the cap. Now your timing starts at ten and adjusts equally in both directions. Just my .02
