Alright made some more progress today, i don't have a good timing light yet so there's only so much i can do right now.
I switched to the light spring set for dist curve, then adjusted base timing to 19 degrees.
The engine runs allot better, no stalling or stumbling, ran pretty good.
I'm holding about 12 inches of vacuum at idle , i know the vacuum advance is coming in but i don't know if it's supplying the full 15 degrees or not.
On a separate note, i fixed the carb issue for now. I had to unplug the primary choke pull off because it won't release. I'll tackle this issue when i'm done timing the engine in, for now the carb works as it should and is spot on.

Wow. There's one or more college educations rolling along in that car. Please don't take that as an insult. I miss the bachelor days, then snap back to reality and realize I have three awesome kids and a talented wife who lets me indulge occasionally in my car fantasy. Keep the updates coming!
