Vacuum and Timing question from a newbie

I suspect you fried your ignition module.

That could be too!

Is the Pertronix Ignitor II internal or external resistence?  If it is internal, did you reqire around the primary resistor wire?

Also, is you distibutor clamped down tight?   Try moving it by hand (while the car is off).

I have the relay for it. I will try to wire it this weekend. I also got a plug tester and volt meter. Hopefully it is that and not the fuel lines. I also forgot to mention I have a manual choke carb on it. And the cable that opens and closes the choke was in the fully closed position. This is my first car that has everything manual so a lot of it for me is new and it takes a lot of trial and error. So I apologise if my questions seem dumb.
