1) Set timing properly
2) Park idle has to be higher than drive idle
3) Sounds like a carb problem... 600cfm, you might be choking that poor 350 lol... but I dont know

have you tried messing with the drive idle? There should be "fast idle" and "curb idle" curb idle = park idle. fast idle = drive idle IIRC... could be wrong, am no expert.
