Sure did. After setting timing using a light I think I'm at about 12 deg at this point. RPM range is good. I only had dieseling one day where it was particularly hot and I had driven for about an hour at that point. I'm assuming if I need to dial it down at all, it may involve changing jets.

My car buddies just told me that everything I went through could have been solved if I just got a Holley carb. Not sure how true that is, but the Edelbrock 1409 does seem pretty finicky.
