Timing and tuning gurus in or near Fort Worth Tx

[edwardgonzalez]

I have an 81 with a recently dropped 305 from a caprice. It turns on and runs great but I know it's not running as it should. I think my timing may be just a bit off. It's currently at around 14 btdc. My timing gun sucks and I don't have a tach so I can't adjust for total timing which I would prefer. I think my carburetor needs some fiddling also. I adjusted for highest vacuum with a gauge. It's currently just over 22hgs. The engine is great I just want it running at its best. I'm just scared to take it to any mechanic. It also idles low while it's warming up and high when it's warm. Other than that it runs great. The carburetor is fresh rebuilt from national carburetor. Distributor is accel, coil is msd, plugwires are delco, and plugs are accel shortys set at .45. I live in Fort Worth so if anyone knows of someone who could tune up my truck in the area please let me know. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here Is a pic of the truck I've never posted any pictures of it on here before.
