-does your starter turn slower when the engine is hot vs cold start? (ie engine is tight)
-do you have excessive "slippage" of your torque converter (assuming it is a non lock up?)

That makes some sense, though I don't think I went wrong getting a different distributor that didn't come from eBay that no one seems to have heard of before.
- 275 60 15
- Not at all. My starter has no problems, turns over well (cold or hot).
- All I know it is a stock TH350 that was overhauled when the engine was done.

Sorry, I cannot say either way - need to find out what wideband means.

Noted, though sounds complicated! I need to print that out, read over it to insure I understand what you have suggested. Personally, I have all the time in the word to try things out at least once! Though to remember @cj847 comment, perhaps I need to let it break in a bit more...
