Quad carb setup information help

Rat, thanks for the info. As you may have figured out by now these changes you recommend are more involved then I have ever gone and I'm a slow learner. As for my distributor and my entire ignition I am using a system called procomp. im sure its a cheaper system but it works good. Im hoping i can change the mechanical advance in it. When I ran into the person that I bought my intake and the original carbs that were with it he also threw in this ignition system. I gave $250 for all of it. I probably should have sold the ignition and went with a Mallory or MSD ignition. I am including pics of the system. I will start by making changes to the timing before I move to carbs.
Thanks again for good direction.
