Cool 1970 F250 camper special w/360 starting problem

I had a friend install a vacuum advance on my truck and it worked fine for a few days, but then it kept getting harder and harder to start. Sometimes it turns over and over like it's getting no spark and other times the engine acts like it's locking up. I have replaced almost the whole top of the engine. Does anyone have any ideas of what could be wrong and how I can fix this? It's my work truck and my only vehicle. I'm in construction so I need it working pronto

If it is indeed a 1970 model you would probably be better served posting in this section: 1967 - 1972 F-100 & Larger F-Series Trucks - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

This one is for 1987 to 1997 models.

This post should be in the 67-72 section, like White said above.

However, this sounds like your timing is off.
