Check the base timing, sounds like its advanced. You had the dizzy off and didnt recheck the timing after reinstalling it?

Hard hot starting would be too much timing or bad wiring/starter.

You mentioned you have a slight bog on take off, but runs fine up top. I wonder if your distributor weights got stuck in the advanced position.

actually i didn´t remove the dizzy, was able to remove the intake w/o touching it. Just had the conector unhooked.
But yes timing needs to be checked anyway.
The bog depends on how you give it gas, I you hammer it bogs a little then it catches, if you go gradually, it take off fine no bogging at all.

it was not the advance actually, the batery wasn´t charging at all, as you can see on my post I had 14v on the alternator and 12 on the batery with the engine running....
It would start cold after seating for a while, but after a few cranks it would loose power....
Today I went again to check all the conections from the alt to the breaker, it was all tight, anyway I rechecked every conection. Had to jump the batery to start the engine. Then took reading again, and now is charging. Let it warm, and did several restart and is now cranking fine.

Have you actually checked your timing yet, even if you never touched it in the course of the repair it was suspected as a possible cause of the original problem ??

Not yet next time out I´ll have it timed. But prior to pulling the heads it was properly timed and checked to 10º initial. Never checked full advance curve, but I would suspect its working properly, as the dizzy is fairly new. Other than the noise it was running strong even with 7 cylinders!
I don´t have a ligth nor know how to use it so I have to take my friend to time it.
Good news i´m not seeing any water in the oil or at the plug wells.

Seb,
    On the hard start ~ If it comes back (battery / alt / timing ok)....

A bad wire connection (high resistance) will produce lots of heat. With a quick touch test, The one that that tries to burn your hand is the bad connection.
