Made the swap to electronic ignition and the car barely runs now

It shouldn't have a hard time cranking with 10 deg. Have you verified your balancer actually corresponds to TDC on #1? Not uncommon for them to slip, and then you're chasing your tail.
Yeah so I’m not 100% sure it hasn’t slipped. I just felt the rubber isolator ring piece in the middle of it and it feels pretty hard and has cracks in it which is making me think it’s old, and it could very well have slipped. I’ve got a new one ordered and will be at the store tomorrow morning. I’m going to focus on getting that replaced, making sure it’s actually marked accurately at TDC, then time it again, then tune that carb. I’m hoping that will cure some/all of these issues
