Timing Update - OK, this is what I have now, at this setting it does idle right about 800 rpm. Valves have not been adjusted, car sat for 4 years, since "rebirth" I have driven it around town for about 1.5 hours combined two trips) So what do you see from my numbers? Next set of advice?

Current Dwell 55 (recommended 42-52)

Timing Without Vacuum line connected:
4500 rpm - about 40 BTDC
3000 rpm - 30 BTDC
800 rpm - 20 BTDC - (recommended 13-19)

WITH vacuum connected:
4500 - 47-50
3000 - 40
800 - 30 (is this correct??)

Unknown miles on the car, figure 95,000+ (Odometer stopped at 94,000 IF original)
