Carter BBD Help

So it runs pretty good at idle now. It starts with no problems as before only now I can rev it as much as I like without it stalling.

I adjusted the carb
*Fast idle cam position
*Choke unloader
*Vacuum step up piston
*Accelerator pump stroke

The first two were good but the piston and pump were slightly off. I also wanted to check the vacuum kick but I don't have a tool to set the vacuum. I'll rent one from O'Reillys tomorrow.

I'm not in the clear yet however, as soon as I put it in gear it stalls almost instantly.

I still need to adjust the kick-down linkage from the donor vehicle; hopefully that will help.

Another problem I've found is that when timing it I cant get to 20º BTDC without stumbling. As I write this it occurs to me that the mixture may need to be thinned out before I can get it closer to 5º BTDC.

As always any thoughts or suggestions would be most welcome.
