Re: New to all this, fighting my new carb on my c10

Try 16 initial. Hook your vac advance to manifold. Turn your idle way down so it keeps running and then adjust your mixture screws.
See what rpm it will idle at. If it won't idle at 700 rpm then try it on ported.
You might need to limit the mechanical and vac advance in the distributor.
As a reference I ran a sbc at 3500 feet elevation. Ran 22 initial, 12 in mechanical and 10 from vac advance.
