are you getting a good AP stream when you pull the throttle? (amount/duration). What idle speed, what initial

No kidding, seems to be a constant around here.
If it doesn't have at least 15* initial minimum, try there and return the carb. It might want up to 20*.
Please don't say it has XX total timing or you are using the factory 6* or so setting. Those are no good to use unless you get lucky.
Set at least 15* and check your total number. You will likely need to adjust the distributor.

Like RobX said above, We need to know what your timing is at idle speed and it wouldn't hurt to know what the timing is when the speed drops to 600 in gear. Distributor more than likely needs work on the advance curve. What distributor are you using? Also what torque converter?
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

idles about 1020 timing set at 36*@2500 seems to be burning rick, blackish smoke from exhaust that will burn your eyes a little, leaned up the 4 corners about 1/4 turn but still wants to stall when u pull it in gear, rpm drops to about 600
That thing is SO FAR off it's not funny. You're one of the total timing crew... STOP NOW with that nonsense, please.
That cam should idle EASILY at 800 rpm in P/N and 750 in gear. It will pull 13" of vac when adjusted properly.
Put 15-18* on it at idle and check for vac leaks.
