The battery is at 14.3 volts. I have a trickle charger on it. I can check starting volts later. The starter definitely spins slowly and draws much power. the engine did start yesterday but really dragged to start. This distributor does not have vacuum advance. I will reset timing to specs and see what happens. I recently changed the jets in the carb and had to add an electric fuel pump to help prime when the car sits awhile. It used to just spin and spin because fuel pump was not drawing well. I have replaced mechanical pump twice. I will check the battery as well. It is not that old but that could be the problem. I have a jump pack I can try.
