Your question is a bit cryptic, but I give this answer. Set the pont gap at .020" on a high point of the distributor cam. Then set the timing at TDC as follows: number 1 piston (closest to radiator) at top on compression, with the pointer at the TDC mark on the crank pulley. Use a 6v (or 12v) test light on the distributor side of the coil. Set the brakes and neutral. Turn on the ignition loosen the distributor at the casting, where it can be rotated a bit. Move the distributor in the direction of rotor rotation until the light goes out,(or if it is out) then rotate the other way until it just comes on. Be careful to have it just come on, no more. This is TDC. (If your manual has it set at the other mark use that as the reference) To find out if the centrifugal advance is working, a timing light is needed. When running, the timing will proceed farther and farther away from the TDC mark until full advance just before High Idle. If you are pickie, a degree wheel, or degree marks for that pulley size can be applied to the pulley. The heart of your stalling on a hill might be fuel related, Water in the fuel bowl, or debris in the tank can reduce fuel flow on hills only and be the cause of this grief. JimN
