No sweat Mark.

Just don't get caught up in more than one thing. Take a systematic approach, one thing at a time, and things aren't so overwhelming.

You still have vacuum issues, those need to be addressed. Once you get that done, you can start on getting the idle settings dialed in. The timing should be close at idle right now, 16-18 is pretty good on that set up from the others I've been involved with. As long as it cranks over, fires up when warm and doesn't kick back on the starter, you're good. It should light off with a bump of the key.
