Throttle it up until you see the total advance at .32 degrees defore TDC and then let it fall back to idle. It should idle anywhere from 7 degrees BTDC to 11 degrees BTDC. Make sure that if you have changed from a vacuum advanced unit to a .009 unit that you plug the vacuum port on your carb. Hope this helps.

Mating surfaces of carb/manifold are FLAT?
No air leaks around manifold anywhere else?
Spray some carb cleaner or similar around manifold flanges to make sure gaskets are sealing, then spray the surfaces to make sure the darn thing ain’t cracked somewhere.
Do have a spare working distributor you can try?

Bryan Porter wrote:Distributor will only go in one way if you look at the edge where the cap Goes on there is a notch and that is where the Number one wire should go so bring the motor up to number 1 Top Dead Center and turn the distributor to line up the rotor with the notch and then set your timing from there
