the distributor is supposed to turn a bit when you give it gas, that's the vacuum advance - worry about the gas first, check the timing later .... sounds like you have some junk holding the inlet needle open, overfilling the bowl - pop the top and clean it out .... if you have a fuel filter near the carb, replace it, if you don't have one install one
