Could be an ignition-timing problem, but if the car ran okay when it was
put away and then wouldn't run right when restarted it doesn't sound like
ignition....unless there is more than one problem.

Moving the distributor to full lock right may indicate that the
distributor gear is worn or your timing chain is worn. One of them
probably jumped a tooth.

Couple of loving taps and the fuel new pump came to life.
As Mayf had said in a message to me, the loose distrib nut was probably a
lark. I cranked it while fully loosened and it didn't rotate. Something
else
is amiss. I slowly moved the dist around while I cranked and it only came
to
life near full lock right, but ran poor. Spoke to Tony. Will try some
things. Probably after the weekend. This cat's staying home from the
party.
