What RPM are you trying to idle at in and out of gear? Initial timing? Total timing? If that cam is 248@50 initial should be between 18-20.

What AndrewH said. Just for a test I'd try setting the initial at 15-18 then the carb for a good idle in park then see if it'll hold it in gear.

I would plug the vacuum advance replace stock advance springs with light springs. then set total to 38. I would advance the cam to 102!
WOW and that will fix it with out even checking any thing else ? I don't KNOW ABOUT THAT! IF it were me i would start at the Basics , ignition first , vacuum check for leaks , then fuel in that order .
I had the same issue with my car and it turned out to be a bad ballast. It was droping the volts to the cil way down. As soon as I drop it in gear it would stall.

If you still have the stock power valve,replace it with the correct one. I doubt you have enough idle vac to us the stock power valve. As others have stated distributor setup will be very important as well.
