and i am just not getting the torque i should be getting
and i know my timing is off
ive tried adjusting it but it doesn't seem to be getting that much better

Just not enough info to work with,,,
Have you put a timing light on the car?
Are you getting "as much torque" as you did before the swap or has your performance actually dropped from what it was prior?
And, exactly what parts did you put on? (Model and size).

Not true at all, unless you're talking about a cleveland. A 4V carb (of the proper size) will actually get better low end throttle response than a 2V carb because the primaries on the 4V are smaller than the two venturis on the 2V. The smaller venturis result in a better vacuum signal and better fuel atomization, while the secondaries allow for increased breathing at higher rpm.
As far as the timing goes, you need to get yourself a timing light. Advance at idle with the vacuum advance disconnected and plugged should be 8-10*. Total advance (with the VA still disconnected) should be 30-35* all in by 3k rpm or so. You'll need a working tach to verify the latter.

we have tried the timing gun but the marks are on the timing wheel are not visible. i have tried cleaning it up but still no good, can't see em. i have tried doing it by ear but with not much improvment. and no i am not getting as much torque as before
hope this helps! and hope you can help me!
thanks
