how did you check to make sure the timing is on? just asking dont take offense.
make sure the #1 piston is all the way up, the up mark shoud be up on the cam gear and lined up with markings on the cover think on that engine there should be a pointer of some sort around. on the crank pully the lone notch should line up with a mark on the lower cover.. also could check by looking at the rotor in the dizzy, if on timing and the #1 piston is up the rotor will be at the point for the #1 spark plug..
if the timing is on it may be internal dizzy issues like the coil or ignighter being bad...
not sure on exactly what causes the sputtering and such but think its a bad ignighter that would cause that. the car dont have a tach right?
