Then it appears that you are using a stock distributor.
If that is so, what are you using for the vacuum source?

The stock set up uses a carburetor port for proper timing.
One of the carbs has the vac port . I dont have it hooked up yet and read where it can be disengaged to set initial timing. Its just not even getting to the sputter point yet that i thought i needed to worry about it?
