So ;

? Is the knocking gone ? .

One of the great things about these sturdy, well designed work horses is : they'll run just fine with badly worn out everything, for decades, as long as you keep it sharply tuned and full of clean oil .

If you don't mind the blue smoke just set the dwell to 33 degrees then the idle timing to 10 degrees BTDC @ 700 or less RPM's and no vacuum to the dizzy .

If it begins to foul spark plugs, just get an original Delco HEI distributor, install it and open the plugs to .050" and it should keep on running just fine for years .
