oh i forgot to mention i checked the distributor and i saw on the cap the lil taps sticking out looked while like its carroded but in another way it looks like its suppost to be like that so i did not clean them since i dont need to mess that car up more. but i will do the valves before i continue farther with the distributor to see if it does the trick

It's a little difficult for me to tell whether it's corrosion. Using the tip of small flathead screwdriver, are you able to scrape off the apparently white corroded material from the metal tabs in the cap?

yes thats what makes me think its corrosion but it still looks like its suppost to be like that so it confused me since from what i can remember those little tabs are suppost to be straight up metal and in the picture you can see all the white dust that came off when i scratched it

yeah it definately won't hurt to get rid of all the white dust on the terminals.. put 'er back together and you'll be fine as far as that goes.. i'd have a buddy who knows what he's doing look at your valves.. incase there is still a chance to save your cyl. head

well while i was waiting for your response about the corrosion i went and adjusted the valves again to double check so im 75% sure their set right i adjusted it to the measurement it recommended with alittle bit of drag so either way their close. and i checked the springs and stuff they all look find goes up and down properly and its making the right sound it would make with no spark....but im going to change the distriburtor and roter tomorrow because the distriburtor cap is cracked anywho
