Check the brown wire in the plug-in on the alternator for power, unplugged, key on, engine off. Lack of power on the brown wire and you have to rev the engine in order for the alternator to start charging.
Slow timings done been mentioned and 8° is TOO SLOW.
"75" 400 initial timing should be set at 16°. Aftermarket cam and performance tune-up, initial timing may go as high as 22°, how far past 16° you have to go will be trial and error till you find where the engine runs best.
Setting initial timing, the engine needs to be idling low enough that the centrifical advance isn't moving and vacuum advance unplugged.
Timing, initial and centrifical need set/adjusted where the engine runs the best. Vacuum advance comes after WOT timing has been determined and needs hooked up and adjusted for best cruise.
