I'm with Mike on this, the small block Ford has had the timing pointer in at least three different locations over the years. If you mismatch the damper and timing cover the timing mark will be crazy.
You cannot have 30 degrees AFTER TDC timing and the engine starts and runs.
The 8" vacuum could be the result of not enough timing, since you really don't know what it is now, or just a very low idle RPM with a performance cam.
