Tim,
You did not mention a vacuum advance. If your MSD distributor has a vacuum advance, you must disconnected it and plug the vacuum hose.
My adjustable timing light doesn't work with the MSD either. I bought a Proform harmonic balancer cover. It's nice and chrome and has timing marks all around it. Now, I lock the light on static and I can set the idle timing about 16, then make sure the maximum doesn't go over 36. I used the springs to advance the timing all in by 2500 rpm and the 20 degree total advance ring.
One other note. I had touble getting the engine to idle under 1000 rpm with the Edlebrock RPM parts until I installed Rhodes lifters. These really helped the idle and low rpm power.
