Thanks to all who offered advice about the "missing nut". I ended up
pulling the distributor, taking GREAT care to not it's orientation, shook
it upside down, and out she came. Thinking I had dodged the bullet, I
reassembled, gapped, and tried to fire it up. Same as before, it tries to
fire, but as soon as it catches it seems to "shut down". Obviously I have
spark or it wouldn't fire for a revolution or so. There is plenty of gas
in the tank and the fuel filter bowl. Any suggestions as to what to check
next? I didn't pull the distributor plate, but am thinking about it.
Would a broken dizzy spring cause this kind of behavior?
