Car shuts off when put in drive

What cam is in the engine?

I don't run ANY of my mopars with less than about 14 initial! Even stock 318's.

Once you get that sorted you can go after total timing. If you bump up initial, it will also bump up total. Just have to be careful not pushing your total too far.

You really need to get an analyzer/tach or a timing light that has an RPM feature on it. Knowing the RPM is pretty vital to getting the tune up close or correct.
