Cam timing you line up the dots on your crank and cam gears. Ignition, put #1 at TDC on compression stoke. With cap off distributor, turn rotor so it points towards #1 cylinder. Do not drop dist onto the oil pump slot. Turn the crank counter clockwise 1 full revolution until your distributor falls down on the oil pump. Then it should fire when you re-install the cap. Adjust timing accordingly with a timing light.
cam timing will not change ignition timing i would try 8 or 10 degees advance at idle with the vacuum advance disconnected.
6 degrees advanced, or BTDC.
4, or 6 degrees advanced, or BTDC, depending on your altitude.
