Too Lean or Too Rich?

Hey guys!

I finally got my truck running to the point where I can safely use it in the city, so long as everyone is going fast anyways, lol

Basically, if I get off nice and easy, the truck will die, but if I punch it, the truck will go like a bat outta hell from a red light. Before, it died wether I gave it lots or very little pedal, now it only does it if you go very easy on it. If I get off on it, it'll ping for a split second, then is good the rest of the way up, even when it is at it's peak RPMs just before shifting.

Am I idling too lean or something? My vac gauge tells me that my timing is too late, but if I advance it anymore, the thing runs poorer, and it pings something horrible, and I don't think I have a vac leak anywhere... I'm kinda confused becuase I was getting like 19 inches before, lol -- I'm only getting 15 inches right now...

Man I can't wait till I have a computer bothering with this stuff in a few weeks, lol
