16 degrees of initial timing.
33 at 1500
Around 55 at 2500
Blueprint recommends 32-34 at 3500 (or at the point the mechanical timing stops advancing) for their engines. I didn’t feel comfortable taking it up to 3500 rpm
It was running at 600 rpm at idle which seems a little low so I bumped it up to 7.
The brakes are so close to working good. I think the semi metallic brake pads and boots with a vacuum canister will solve the problem.

So you basically have low initial timing combined with a higher idle setting both of which reduce your idle vacuum.
New pads and brake shoes won’t change how your brakes function.You still won’t have enough vacuum for your booster.
