New engine issues

So I got rid of the ticking under the valve cover by switching back to the sold factory push rods. Then I inspected the carb thoroughly and the floats where a little off and some how dust or some kind of filth got into the carb and moved through out the passage ways and some what clogged up the tiny little ports. So after carb and choke cleaner and back flushing everything and retighting bolts some I found a little loose the carb is running much better. Also I found a bad ground at the heat sink where my 4 prong ignition control module is mounted. Vehicle runs much better but still have an issue with timing ? I'm running the mopar performance distributor with performance curv.
