Some engines will cross-fire enough inside the distributor to seemingly run fine mis-timed... up to a couple thousand rpms with no load - but when you put a load on them, they lay down and die.

Check it to make certain it's timed at TDC on the compression stroke - doesn't cost a thing and you can be sure.
