Well when the timing is set correctly it pops on start up. when the timing is advanced off the timing tab it starts good but not when its hot. Does this mean its running lean? Its a 366 i might be swapping in a spare 92 bird but i want to test it out first. all stock with a edel carb.

How sure are you that your timing marks are correct?

Not original, correct. Over time the outer balancer ring can slip.
