What is the timing actually set at?

Did you properly set the floats to the specs in the rebuild kit?

You could have also got some junk in the needle and seat area if it wasn't flushed out good enough on the rebuild. This will let excess fuel past the needle and seat and flood the engine.

Also the vacuum advance for the distributor needs its own vacuum sorce, and not "Tee'd" in to the brake booster line.
