You can also lock your timing out to 38 or watever your motor likes you would just need a kill switch to the dizzy so you turn key have starter turn your motor then hit the switch and Bam car on and you don't have to worry about vacuum advance or idle problems

Yes it would help you out but you also need to check your plugs if they black and smell like gas you running rich if they white lean and etc or you could just adjust your idle little higher or timing and etc I never pay attention to stock timing settings there always underpowered
well as soon as i tred started it after redoin the vac lines gas started shoting out the carb like 3 feet up and i turned bouths the thuning bolts all he way down and it made no dif and alls i did was move to vac lines i dont get y its doing it

first - in your picture there is a rigid steel tube bent in a u-shape and resting between 2 ignition wires... its about 1/4" and right there in front on the vacuum can on your distributor. This line popped out of the piece of rubber hose right behind the carb. Put that back in the tubing and make sure it's tight ( use a hose clamp if you have to ). This is full manifold vacuum and the line if unconnected will likely keep your trans from upshifting and cause a huge vacuum leak and idle problems
-Yeah I kind of thought that. But that steel tube isn't going anywhere near that rubber hose. I tried, and it just won't go that far. But at least now I know where it goes and can fix it.
The plug which comes off your manifold ( the one your car has the open ended rubber hose sticking out of it ) should have 2 nipples off it. The centre one is for the kickdown, the other is for the HVAC
-OK I remember that being the originally (I think). Hopefully the T fitting is on the floor in the back (that's where the ******* threw my a/c stuff and all the stuff he removed)
Off the carb should only be:
front - PCV & Vacuum Advance for the dist
*** I notice your vacuum advance on the distributor is capped so where is the vacuum from the front of your carb going now ?
-That hose on the front goes to the thermostat housing.
The bolt on the firewall is for your ground strap
-OK kind of thought so.
Thanx
