Default 95 306 timing

I'm having issues with my sn95. It's a 306 11-1 comp, gt40 heads, forged internals, tfs1 cam, msd 6a box and coil, Mallory distributer, eldebrock intake and 600 carb. The carb needs tuned but I can not get the timing right. 15 it dosent want to start, 10 backfires, 5 cuts out. I cant find a happy median. Any ideas?

Distributor not stabbed correctly, it should start at any of those timing marks. Backfiring thru the carb tells me timing is off.

Feel like a dumb ***. It was marked at 14. I thought the mark was 0. So it was wayyy off. Runs much better now. But thanks guys
