Lets start with what you have done I see it had sat for a while and after a battery it would not crank?Then you put in a starter and it would crank? Did it start after that? If so how did it run?
I need answers before i can help you further.
I used to sell and teach classes for a major engine diagnostic equipment company. We can fix this.

I had this vehicle in storage for almost 5 years, but was able to get it running again by replacing the starter, ignition coils, distributor and wiring, and ignition wiring. My issue now is how it runs. I can get it to/from the stadium ok, but noticed that I have no real power going uphill and think that the timing could be the culprit. I still have points on this vehicle, so going with HEI would be the next step? I'd love to find someone local that could assist.
