What cam?
Try a dry fuel pressure gauge. Oil filled ones don’t like heat.

Thanks for the reply. I did not account for the calibration in the distributor in setting the timing. I found TDC, verified, set initial to 16° at idle (950 - 1000 RPM) at the zero mark on the timing tab, then set total timing to 36° at 3200 RPM. I will be calling Performance Distributors to verify this but their instructions for setting timing comply with the method I used, not referencing the calibration specs.
The intake is the traditional non-air gap type, it's rated from idle to 5500 RPM.
I do not have the cam specs but it's pretty basic, nothing radical, no significant lope, idle is smooth.
