Success! I was turning the pump the wrong way - I actually thought that clockwise was backwards. Once I figured this out (duh!) I set the timing to ~.95 and it runs fantastic! A bit smoky, but I think maybe driving it a bit will fix that.
The only thing that is left unsolved - it still idles around 900 rpm which seems high to me. I thought that disconnecting the stuck cold start device would solve this, but it didn't. Is the idle speed adjustable, or how do I fix this?
I'm off to get plates and pick up a radiator cap (I lost it somehow) and then I'll post a video just for fun.
Thanks again for helping me through it!
