update on dist. problems

Guys thanks for all the help. I went home and took a wire brush to the crank pulley and I did find that it had 2 timing marks and guess what I was using the wrong one to set the rotor cap to the #1 tower on the dist. cap
Then I finaly realized you could losing the 2 bolts at rotate the dist like a regular car one instead of un-bolting it from the block and adjusting the dist gear to the cam gear what a dummy. Once I had the right timing mark everything lined up great rotor pointed to the #1 tower perfect then I losened the dist and static timed it like the book says and I hit the key and it fired right up and ran 100% better. The next day I did a complete carb rebuild new jets and the works. It ran better with that but still could not get it completly smooth at high rpms.
I then did the fuel level check on the carb and found out I adjusted the float wrong I have 1/2" to much fuel in the float bowl causing it to run super rich and I hope once I get it set right that the engine will smooth out and I can get the correct adjustments out of the high idle screw.
thanks for all the help guys and I learned a few things and it was great!
