What year and donor vehicle is the engine from, also the make and model of the carburetor and ignition system?

Intake manifold vacuum can be used to adjust the initial timing, with the line to the vacuum canister on the distributor disconnected and plugged while setting the initial timing.
The line for the distributor vacuum canister from the carburetor is 'ported' vacuum, above the throttle plates.
