I'd set the timing at 8 degrees Before Top Dead Center and go from there.
I have buddies that set the timing "by ear". They go until the vehicle is hard to start and then "back it off a notch". B/c of this theory I'd greatly recommend a timing light.
As far as adjusting the carburetor, my advice is to adjust each side one at a time. Adjust the screw until you here that side run a little rough, then go 2.5 turns in. Then do the other side. I usually repeat this 2 or three times. The screw to adjust is on the front of the carb and in the lowest portion of the carb closest to the manifold.
This is free advice so please take it for what is worth.
