Need to learn how to drive with manual adjust timing. Need to learn ignition timing procedure and inner workings of a distributor. Need to learn about carburetor adjustment.

The challenge is to identify what it is that you don't know and to have a plan for getting the lessons / answers. There are tests for each and every system and component. There are procedures to follow in eliminating possibilities and finding the fault. You need some good stuff to read, might consider an old "motor" blue shop manual at a used book store. To bad that the search function is so limp because all of this has been covered hundreds of times if not thousands right here on the barn. I won't guess answers for you, you don't need them. Most of the knowledge is generic but some is specific to model A. Best of luck to you.
