Re: '69 C10 327 SBC Off Idle Stumble / Misfire Help - I feel like I've tried EVERYTHI

Quote: “I lowered the idle to 650 RPM or so, set initial to 12° (it was confirmed only the 4° off from my initial 16° setting so timing was accurate anyway) and 36° at 3000-3200 RPM.

I ran the engine at various RPM in the garage while working on this and getting to operating temps. This was likely 25-30 minutes as I was doing a few other things, looking at vacuum (dropped about 8-10" due to idle speed)” Quote

Your initial post said you had about 20” of vacuum at idle. Does this mean you now only have 10” vacuum at idle? That is way low. Barring a vacuum leak somewhere, such low vacuum indicates possible valve issues as discussed in other posts
