I think you maybe right about the cam bushings it looks like something is "floating" to wear them. Wasnt sure how to check the binding issue cant turn the distributor when its installed. was hope"n to avoid a tear down.....but thats life. thanks

You "can" manually crank the motor, someone cranking, someone watching. . .
Also check the cam/s fore play "ha ha" to see if they can shift under torque. Have you had and wear issues or slipping of the timing belt? I am not familiar with the older Ford sprockets and do not know if the are shouldered.
I secend Clem's point but it is a good idea to know what the prob. is and get it fixed before you clean her up, to avoid a reoccurance.
