So, the cam was desgned to have poor idle quality.
Did you check the intake vacuum when you had the static timing advanced to 32 degrees? my advice is to set it for optimum intake vacuum, regardless of where it ends up. Dialing the carb in will be easier, the motor will pull better in the lower rpm range too.
