Test the timing light on a 2nd vehicle to make sure the light isn't the source of the jumping flashes.

Rotor on a standard HEI should pull off after the two screws are removed.

Start it in the dark after your eyes have adjusted and look for sparks. 35,000 volts is always looking for a way to escape.

Probably a silly observation but the front nuts on the carb studs are missing.
