Another 318 carb issue!!!

I like to use this carb base gasket:

Edelbrock Heat Insulator Gasket

First get the timing dialed in... Start around 10° - 15° advance and see how it runs...

then dial in the carb next...

That cam should idle at 700 - 800 RPM ... Something is not right...

Also check to make sure that you haven't mixed the #5 and #7 wires on the distributor...

Totally forgot to tell y'all. I triple checked the wires to ensure that. My issue is I can't set the timing with the rough idle. When I retard the timing it dies out on me. The timing then bounce around when the RPM's start fluctuating (Even with the vacuum line is disconnected from distributor and plugged on carb).
