on a separate note does anyone know the size wire for the distributor connector?
on mines the plastic grips are broken , i think it’s a 10gauge?

Our cars used 12 AWG for distributor wire. '75-'77 A's used the 10 AWG. Biggest wire used outside of the battery cables was 12 AWG in our cars.
Okay, from the pic of the parts, you are running the big cap or big head style HEI Distributor. The small cap version looks somewhat similar to the fist gen distributors that typically came with internally mounted points and a condenser. Vintage or classic country but still very much available and used.
Like I noted earlier, on the topic of the first generation EEE/C's, there are specific threads posted on this forum that deal with them. Typically, they are very limited in terms of what they do and how they do it. They don't data log and have no memory chips that can be scanned or read.
If you are familiar with the coding concept of "if, then, else." then what they do is based on that statement, as in "if the input from the water temperature sensor is (go to sensor, retrieve value, return, read value ...) then do this (add/subtract timing from the distributor to speed up/slow down the rpm rate of the motor; else, do nothing (Or adjust position of accelerator solenoid to slow rpm down)
This is only a rough approximation of how it all works as the sampling rate would be almost continuous until certain preset parameters were met or exceeded and then another "canned" or hard written subroutine would take over. One highly knowledgeable source who regularly visits suggested that the whole process could be easily coded into a modern format and written to a solid state hard drive the size of a deck of smokes. I think that you would have to surf the archives, locate that thread and contact that member directly if you want a better sense of what is being suggested.
When you do finally manage to identify and fix the culprit, it would be useful and beneficial if you posted what you found and how you fixed it to the board. All knowledge and information created or generated is useful, even if it only tells someone what not to do as that shortens the list of stuff to have to sort through. Anything that diminishes frustration and prevents tool throwing.is worthwhile!

when it dies,will it start right back up? if not, check for power at the distributor,sounds like an ignition switch or fuse link feeding it
results would be mixed, most times wouldn’t start up right away.
i may just go ahead and change ignition switch, cheap part.
