I double checked mechanical timing, reset distributor etc and it still acted the same. I took off aisin carb and installed algas carb with a impco regulator and after cranking for 10 seconds, engine started with a lot of steam coming out of muffler. I ran engine for 20 minutes until little steam was coming out. Reinstall aisin carb and regulator and now it runs fine. As I mentioned in first post, job came in for head gasket so o guess it partially filled muffler with water. I've never seen this problem before but hope this helps someone else in the future. Thanks for reply Kevin.

Fact of the week
The word "okay" (or its abbreviation "OK") originated as a humorous misspelling. In the 1830s, a fad in Boston involved using abbreviations of intentionally misspelled phrases. "OK" stood for "oll korrect," a playful mispronunciation of "all correct".
