what would be your diagnosis?????

try 20 to 22 degrees initial, then connect your vacuum advance to manifold vacuum and using your vacuum guage, adjust the idle mixture to the most rpm or highest vacuum...

Tried all kinds of timing. Nothing makes it better. Only thing that makes a change is when I turn it too far one way or the other, then it way out of adjustments. Turned the idle screw in/out, no better.
