Put a timing light on it and check the timing. If the distributer is installed 180 out it will run ok but can cause it to run hot. I figured that out the hard way after running my truck for a few months that way when I was 17.  |

I have never seen or heard of one that would run at all if it was 180 out It's been several years may not have been 180 out but it was close to it. It ran good just ran hot drove it that way for almost a year. A small block Chevy is tough. Lol |

For the blow-by you should check the PCV or whatever system that old thing has, I have seen that cause an engine to blow the dipstick out and make a nice mess.

That's masking 101.
Just in case you didn't know this either, do not let that tape get wet.
