5.0 inital tuning, help

[Terrible Terry]

Built 5.0 stock lower end, balanced, afr 165 heads, TFS 1 cam, roller lifters, roller rockers, weiland stealth intake, 670 holley street avenger carb, e coil, stand alone hei distributor, stock headers. My first build having troubles starting and tuning. Main primary jets # 69. Can someone suggest intial timing. I can get it started but when I back the timing down to around 12 degrees bfdc it runs rough and dies. Seems to be running hotter on the passenger side header. Am I too lean, timing off, help I no not what I do.

you might have better luck in the classic forums for something like this. I would venture to say that 90% of us in the 94-95 section don't have much carb experience.
