timed port is on the pass side. How far are the throttle blades open?

With only 14 degrees of timing in your distributor you do not need to run manifold vacuum. Run it on the timed port, and bump it to 34-38 degrees total.
The starter shouldn't be kicking back at 14 initial. I'd suspect an slipped/incorrect balancer/timing mark. What kind of distributor is this?
Manifold vacuum is an easy fix to clean up the idle on a car with a lot of mechanical advance in the dizzy (i.e. stock). If you can get it to the 34-38 total and 20-24 initial that it should have you should probably not run manifold vacuum as it will be too much. At only 14 degrees initial I would probably run manifold vacuum though.
A friend of mine put the eddy 800 on his Dart years ago with a 440, 509 cam, single plane intake and headers. Hes never adjusted anything other than idle and mixture screws and said the car had never been that fast or had such insane response. While I'm not a fan of Eddys and prefer Holleys I do respect this particular friend's opinion. He ran 800 and 850 DPs prior. I've been in the car and its an easy mid to high 11 second car. And the throttle response is indeed awesome.

I 'm not sure, but I have control of my A/F mixture screws. If I were open too far woudn't I have no control?

Matt the damper has been verified to be accurate. The timing tab is a OEM timimg cover. The Dist is a MP Electronic unit.Its the older design that doen't have the adjustable mechanical advance. I am really starting to think I have a battery cable and/or starter issue. After warming the car to op. temp(not hot) and shutting it down, my starter is dragging. When I allow it too cool down spins normally. I dont know if its cheap cable or starter. How can I verify this? Brand new Interstate battery, new starter and cables, not sure of the quality of the cable.

As said it sure sounds like a batt/cables/starter issue & hard to tell which as the symptoms are the same between the three. Were all the points of contact for the new cables cleaned including starter to block/block to body/body to batt neg post? If you have another vehicle I'd sub in the batt then the starter to confirm or eliminate them if the cable connections are good. Yes if you have control of the idle mixture screws you're good on the throttle opening. Keep us posted

Mini-starter is the only way to go but I know people have different reasons for staying with a stock starter.
I had the dreaded 1407 manual choke 750cfm Eddie carb on my FE5 70 Duster360 and it smoked the tires every time with no bog or back fire with excellent throttle response thru all rpm ranges. One of the best carbs I ever used but it sure did like stopping at gas stations. I ran 20 degrees of intial timing/36 degrees total timing with no vacuum advance with 280H Comp Cam.

1973 TB3 SpaceDuster 340/4spd/4.10's SOLD
Moparless for now but when the opportunity is right I'll have another one.
