460 Timing

I Ask Thins Once Before, But Need To Ask It Again. I Have The The Whole Truck Back Together, The 460 Swap Went Well, And The Exhaust Sounds Good. The Motor Is A '73 Which I Installed A '70 Timing Chain Into After Some Recommendations Forom Peoples On Here. It Starts Well And Sounds Strong, But It Will Not Let Me Open The Choke All The Way (manual Choke). It Really Wants That Extra Gas At Idle. As It Sits, Im Idling @ About 15-1600 In Park, Seemed To Be Right For The Warmup. I Had Meesed With The Timing A Bit Before The Pipes Where On, And Looking At It Yesterday, I Would Sat That Its About 15-12 Btdc. Any Thoughts As To Why She Wont Idle? Is The Timing Too Advanced, What Should It Be?

Should I Turn The Idle Up So That It Idles Without The Choke And Go From There?

What is the timing totaling at?? You are right you need to get it idling before you can do any further tuning.
