could it be as simple as a stuck float?

I am assuming it is the resistor wire....sound like a good guess to yall?

If you turn the key on but not running see if the wire to the coil is getting 12 volts or 8-9volts. If the resister wire is working it will be 8-9. It will run with 12 volts but you will get pretty good at changing points
I couldn't find a replacement resister wire for mine so I bought the ceramic one(that they say goes to this truck also)and it has been fine.
Another easy way to tell the two distributors apart is the adjustable ones have a trap door in the cap and the mechanical advance weights are just under the rotor, and the rotor screws on.
The other has no trap door, the weights are hidden in the distributor body, and the rotor is small and pushes on.
