I have the same low priced ebay hei distributers in at least 4 or 5 of my cars and trucks and never had a problem with any of them ever !!
I never use a timing light to set the timing on anything I own .
your rebuilt carb could possibly be a problem ?
or trying to set the timing to a certain degree # could be a problem also .
I have never had any luck setting timing with a timing light .
what the book calls for the timing to be
most of the time will make the motor run like crap.
