Larry I'm leaning toward something like what you've described. Valves hanging open for some reason. I did prime the engine AFTER I set the lash. Good oil flow all around. Mine hasn't hit a lick on any cylinders.
60man, hows that shoulder? I checked the distributor first and it looks right to me. 2nd time I checked it as per my description in my opening paragraph. Paper towel in the spark plug hole, 1st pass around the TDC timing mark on the balancer the paper towel stayed in the hole, second time around it blew out. This was turning the engine over with a wrench and all the plugs out. Rotor was pointed at the #1 plug wire. If the distributor was out 180 degrees wouldn't the car fire on some of the cylinders? Mine hasn't hit a lick. Period. At all. I'm stumped.
