dang...gonna need some extra tall jack stands after all that.
does it idle ok? if so, measure intake vacuum. you should get atleast 14inch Hg. the idle air adj. screw should be nearly closed. measure fuel pressure - should be around 28psi good luck |

if your valves are so out of adjustment that it wont go past 4k, it wont idle well. if your valves are excessively loose, that engines gotta be making hellaciuos racket. and if excessively tight and driven that way for a while, your valve train is likely bbq'd along with those ribs.
is this a djet or carbs? |

Does it break up at 4000 RPM real badly?
Swap out the coil for a known good one and see if that might be it. |

I don't know much about what a bad coil acts like but they're pretty cheap - maybe $30 or so.
