Cams and oil spray holes looked good. It does not make mechanical noises when the polarity is set the other way around like it has been all the time. But according to MSD instructions it should be set which way is most retarded (no pun intended)
One more possiblity, distributor coil: Copy paste from Ken911's thread.

so i checked the resistance across the coil and it was OK but the manual says check the ground against the car ground. which was open so the coil needs replaced

Henry Schmidt: Testing continuity to the distributor body will produce no result other than open circuit. If you have continuity the coil in the distributor is bad

A bit mixed info on different threads but since it's a coil I think Henry got it right?
Coil testing. I have IIRC MSD Blaster SS coil so values are primary 0.355ohms and secondary 4.4Kohms

HFR_racer: You properly test the primary side of the coil by placing your meter leads on terminal "A" or "+" and the output to distributor terminal "4". This reading shoud be approx. 0.x ohms.
You properly test the secondry side of the coil by placing your meter leads on terminal "A" or "+" and the "-" terminal of the coil. This reading shoud be approx. xxxx ohms. I used the 20K ohm setting on my multi-meter to test this.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You should fully disconnect your coil from the vehicle prior to testing.
