Tuning and timing questions

In preparation for this weekend's gathering at Hot Springs, Arkansas, (and just because it needed to be done) I did some tuning etc. On a side note my carburettor had been whistling uncontrollably so I finally broke down and loaded it up with gasket sealant. Good or bad, I don't know, but the little sh*thead FINALLY stopped whistling. Anyways, new NGK plugs gapped to .024 in. That's what Haynes said, I probably should have checked here first. New dizz cap. New fuel filter. My car still runs crappy. I suck at tuning my weber and timing the car. I don't have a timing light, but am getting one soon. My tach is also AWOL at the moment, so that makes it a little more complicated. It misses and bumps when I'm at steady rpm's. It's not so bad when under load, but it's still there. It also putt putt backfires on decel, especially after racking it out a little. The response is also sluggish. When I hammer the pedal down, it feels more boggy than rippy, if that makes sense. Any advice is great. Thanks.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
