Okay so this is what I found.

#3 cylinder intake rocker arm was loose and the valve was not even opening!! I believe the pressed in stud is starting to pull out from the head, because I started to tighten the rocker down, and got it to start clacking, then tightened it some more until it stop clacking then I did a 1/4 turn
Then I went back and adjusted all of the valves that’s way while running, the engine smoothed out A lot.
It still was a little tough,
So then I started playing with the timing. It did not run so go at 2•-12• degrees.
It was only pulling about 10” of vacuum.

So I then retarded the advance down and watched the vacuum gauge until it went up to around 20” of vacuum under the “normal engine” green area.

And at that point my timing mark was 2” out again.

Why is it doing that?

Maybe the engine builder previously made it 180 out?

Anyways I set that carb in park at 750 and the engine seems to run smooth.

It has glasspcks so it sounded a little choppy in the back end
But besides that, I feel I have some things to figure out.

The picture with the balancer and timing mark is while it was running and my timing light on it
