So I go into the timing again and this time check the points with a multitester. Turns out I am getting power to both points at the same time. So there is a short somewhere. I trace it as far as the harness going towards the tach/speedo and figure this could get ugly so I just unplug the two wires white and black and yellow and hook them directly to the coils by splicing them with the two orange wire from the coils and WHAMO!!! no back firing, no bogging, she ran and pulled like I've never seen her before. If I ever get ambitious I will trace down the actual short..maybe.
