360 timing issues

I think I’ve figured it out, and it makes me feel stupid. I did as suggested and removed the distributor, brought it up to TDC, rolled it back to about 12* btdc, put in the distributor and set it to #1 plug wire. Cranked a bit and it fired up and runs way better. I think I just had it far enough off that it would run, but not right. Also figured out that the carb is leaking fuel and that’s most lies where the clatter is coming from with the extra fuel. That’s why it was loading up at idle. Thanks for all the help guys! Now I just need to get a carb kit and it should be good to go burn some rubber
