1987 318 Tuning with Summit Carb

6*of timing, good luck with that.

Set it at 12-14, lower the idle speed back down and readjust the carb mix screws. You may need to dive into the distributor to limit total.
Yep, it was me trying to figure out a carb's tuning when a weak ignition was the problem. It did not like 6 degrees. Now that the ignition is good, I have the timing set back up at 12. I have a limiter plate in the dizzy set to 18 max, so I might bump the timing up to 14 and see how it reacts. I also recurved the Proform dizzy as it came with a lightning fast curve. Still might need to fine tune the curve.
