check the valves and the advance in the distributer. Its prolly gunna be one of the two. Maybe even and intake leak causing a lean mixture.

Do a compression check. That will confirm a valve issue. After that check for the infamous Air Leak.

Did you do a compression check and a leak test prior to pulling them? Results?

I had the same issue after a complete rebuild of a 1915. Come to fine out it was a simple air leak around my intake boots. But a compression check will definately answer the valve question.
