If you want to further fine tune your timing I highly suggest a timing light. Now I'm no expert but I don't think just setting your timing until it idles and runs decent will cut it. What I do is rev it up to 2400rpm or until the timing stops increasing and set it to 36° btdc and let the initial timing fall where it wants. If the initial is too high or too low then swap springs until the initial is where you like it.
