Initial timing

Thanks all. AJ I dont want to remove AFB carb just yet. I have a kit for the Eddy 1405 on the way. I received the Eddy 9266 spacer/insulator. I will install spacer when 1405 is ready to install.
So I figured I would buy a new timing light. Nothing fancy. Didnt trust the pickup on the Penske.
So got it started(hard start again).
Timing at 30 BTC. Idle rpm 650.
Lowered timing to 15, adjusted rpm to 600.
Set idle to 2000 rpm, had approx 32*.
Blipped the throttle to 3200 rpm and got 35* approx.
All this done with va unhooked and hose to carb plugged.
