Should I adjust the timing with the car in gear?

The idle remains consistent in and out of gear.

I don't know what cam, engine was already together I never pulled it apart. I did change out the spark plugs, no change. The RPM is at 1000 when I measure initial timing.

I'll check the motor mounts, in gear the idle is 700 RPM out of gear 1000. I have the timing set at 20 degrees initial. The trans has a 2200 to 2400 RPM stall but it may be to tight for the cam in the car, which I don't know what it is. The motor makes between 12 - 13 Hg out of gear and drops...

AMP gauge leads is the red and black wires connected to the cluster?
