Good job getting it going. As far as timing it is better to set for total timing than for initial.
Walnut Creek being near sea level I would suggest something like 32 degrees total to start with then play with it from there.

Excellent news Chris!! Persistence pays off once again!
For timing....you can try a vacuum gauge approach. Here's a link:
