Not Ranked
Okay, Saturday went through the 500 mile checklist. Snugged up any bolts loose which were many. Add to the checklist to check the trunk bolt that holds the bracket arm raising the trunk lid.
The timing was good at 12 degrees idle and 32 total advance. Ended up backing off the 4 needle screws in the carb from 2 turns out to 3/4 turn out which was max vacuum. Runs like it should now. Black smoke exhaust is gone. Runs hotter so the fan comes on now.
I may add a Holley fuel pressure gauge if I can figure out a nice little bracket mount so it is isolated from the engine vibration. I may also experiment with the centrifugal springs in the distributor to change the advance curve a bit and will report back.
