Poor idle and off-idle performance after distributor swap

I'd isolate the vacuum advance for now and see if it changes anything. Is it too lean or too rich because you mention both. You also mention air screw, do you mean the one that opens the primary butterfly's? Manual or electric choke, is it hooked up and opening/operating? At idle can you see raw fuel running down the inside of the carb?

Electric choke, set properly, warmed up and off choke and the fast-idle cam. And when I say air screws, I am talking about the idle air mixture screws. Idle issues are with vac advance unhooked and hose plugged. Haven't looked down the carb as of yet.
