I took out all the spark plugs. Then took out the fan. I changed the orientation of the distributor to have 1 pointed more at the booster than the front of the engine. Dropped the distributor cap right on top while at TDC. 

Went to start it and cranked. I heard what sounded like a it wanted to start but then didnt. I smell gas so maybe it is flooded. Anyhow the battery died again. NEW battery, was charging a hour or so. Must really be drained. Gonna let it be on charger and try again later.

The Unilite lacks the screw downs on side of cap and the sliding window and the Vacuum advance that was causing me to not have any range of movement in the distributor.

I had the rings polished. But i did not polish the outter ones. At $25 each I think new ones are same price? And they wont be dented.

Still having trouble with getting the deck lid to close. The catch might be wrong one? 

I also think I need white pinstripe
