Initial timing

Thanks J, I havent checked coil yet(timing light shows consistent spark now).
I also havent pulled a v/c YET. When I do I'll chk the lash also.
No to checking for vac leaks. I'm assuming no as there seems to be a lot of vacuum and when I put hand over carb it stalls.
Yeah reluctor gap set with brass gauge.
A few things on the to do list, and the carb kit came in. Hopefully get time Monday to tackle this.
Thanks.
If it dies with your hand choking it..shouldn't be a vac leak .good to hear
