Timing problem

Just replaced my head gaskets and put on headers. When we went to get it started the timing was way of. Would only run smooth at around 40 degrees advanced.
Any suggestions on what to look for? It has a new timing set and HEI dist.

I'm going to check for vacuum leaks tomorrow. what else should i check?

Sounds like the timing ring on your balancer may have slipped. Have you had a timing light on it recently?
