On an older 350 get the motor running and slowly turn distributor until the miss (slight sputter out of exaust) goes away. At idle the motor should run smoot and not "hop" inconsistantly. adjust carberator at this point. to further bring it in find a safe place where you wont run anything over. put car into gear and hold brake. throttle up slowly. if you hear "clattering" from motor retard timing slightly. repeat until clattering stops. if you throttle up and tire spinning occurs you are pretty close (and most likely giving it too much gas).
