You should be using a 41189 distributor. Check its condition first especially for play in the shaft. You can get parts from the distributor doctor online. Fit new springs and points and a new cap then time it statically at 10-12 deg btdc.
Now set your carbs to initial start up state as described in the book. Start the engine and set it to a fast tickover with the throttle stop screws. Let it warm up a bit then go through the usual carb sequence of adjustments from scratch. Once you've done that, take it for a drive to get it thoroughly warm then adjust the timing until revs just start to rise on tick over. Then take it to someone with a rolling road who can fine tune tbe carbs for you.
