Sorry about short reply wife was giving the stink eye.
If you decide to remove the distributor you can pull the cap, take a permanent marker, mark where the rotor is pointing on the edge of the distributor, then also make a mark on the engine where the vacuum advance is pointing. Then when you put it back together you just line the marks up. Just don't rotate the engine at all while the distributor is out.

Sorry for the late reply
And yes mine was also a rod, it came in with the carb
I hooked it up and all, just that it was a pain in the Butt to adjust the timing, it's set right now how it was when I took it off, I have a timing light and made sure it was set to how I had it right now. But it still idlles like crap, Well I wouldnt say like crap I mean rough. It does respond Well though. I tried adjusting the fuel /air mixture, but I couldn't turn it clockwise like an instruction video I saw on YouTube. So now I plan in taking it to a shop or something... Unless I find out what's going on
Oh, and I'm not sure if I installed my carby, I will post a pic tomorrow of what I mean
Well it's been a long day here with my Ford today, I think I'm calling it day for today

Here is the picture, sorry for the blurrines i took a quick shot
On my edelbrock carb came with an instructions paper, and it said to place the carb gasket to the manifold, then the edelbrock gold plate on top of the gasket, then place the carb on top ot the gold plate adapter
Is that ok? Or did i have to place another gasket on top of the gold plate adapter?

Thanks, and after I took the pic I found the ball stud that came with the carby and placed it on there
And yes, I used a timing light to set it
I have it at 10 degrees right now, and I will put it on the dyno tomorrow and set my fuel /air mixture screws
