First, I want to give a everyone a BIG Thank You for taking your time to help me.

Found the issue last night, it was the points. I'll pick up a new set or two today. (Feel free to stop reading. the rest is just me babbling) I don't know what happened to them but the arm, that rides in the distributor cam/shaft, just stopped moving. I took it off and even in my hands it was hard to move that arm up/down or open/close. I had to force it to open then close. Funny story, don't laugh, I had to go get my moms reading glasses to see the points contacts better. Even then it was hard to see the points didn't actually close or touch. Putting a light behind it, I could see the light passing through. Put some WD on them, just playing around, and it got easier. They were brand new set that came with the car when I bought it in March. They were in the trunk.
But definitely learned more so those 6 hours or so weren't a total waste.

Thanks again to everyone to took your time to help me.
