i need help!!!!!!

So here is the info. I bought a 73 f250 off of a buddy. Any time I had an issue he was able to help. Well he left California for Oregon and now my mechanic on retainer is gone. Myself and a fellow newbie did a tune up on her and everything was good. Until a little a little rubber cover popped off the Carb and caused a vacuum leak. We found it and plugged it but in between it popping off and getting fixed my buddy thought it was a timing problem and messed with it and the Carb. Now we can get her to idle hella high but when we put it in gear she stalls. What are we doing wrong and how can we fix it?

Can you not return the timing to what is printed on the emissions sticker, and undo what was done to the carburetor?
