Iv tried adjusting the carb as much as I can but after 1/4th throttle it just loses acceleration and backfires out the carb. Carb problem? Took the valve covers off all rocker arms are pumping like they should should im guessing the cam isnt the problem.

Or just to be clear, how much timing advance did you adjust it to without the vacuum connected to the dist?

You had backfire problems before the headgaskets went and with the other carb so it sure seems like a timing/spark or fuel supply problem.

That is an important question!
How did you set the timing? Have you verified it is advancing?
I think you really need this:

I used the same distributor that was on this motor before, its a non computer controlled ac delco.
As soon as my funds recover from this motor ill def be picking up one if not both of those books, and another block to get working on.

Yea i really dont know anything about timing. I thought after you set the distributor you just move the distributor around untill it sounds right. I donno how to set base timing and total timing and stuff i just started reading up on that stuff.
