Groovy!
Now get to tuning.
Get the ve table good before doing anything with accels (particularly eae) other than flatlining them.
dont forget to use the idle features esp idle timing and idle ve, huge improvements over the years.
(OK, your still on carbs... the idle timing feature still works)

Don't be afraid of adding timing below ~80 kpa.
That's ~like WOT above Denver, it needs far more timing to complete the burn.

"Fixed" timing is for setting your base timing offset
If you want to actually control advance vs MAP and RPM, you need to select "table"

EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.

NGK BCPR6ET or Bosch FR7DTC for a T4, can't recall for a T1, been too long.

5/8" hex, resistor, 19mm reach, triple electrode on the Bosch, the NGKs last as long.
The smaller hex socket makes it easier to get in/out.

The ECUs like resistor plugs or resistor wires, and sometimes both.
You technically only need one or the other to be resistor type.
