I set the points and timing it runs smoother now.

I found a bad wire at the trigger points plug so i did a quick temp fix just to see how it would run, it still idled rough and smoked black all the time but when i revved it up it sounded great, sounded like it has tons of power.

Im gonna pull the trigger points out and clean them, properly repair the corroded wire, and check the MAP, maybe the MAP is causing it to run so rich.
