68 Jeepster idling problems

Have a 68' Jeep with the Buick 225. Having some idling issues. Motor is backfiring through the carb, hard time idling, running rich and hard time starting. I put the timing back to TDC and leaned out the carb. After that, I advanced the timing a bit, but still having the same issues. Any suggestions?

I've had valve adjustment and also worn out timing chains produce problems like this. Would be a good time to make sure the ignition parts are in good shape - plugs, wires, cap and rotor.

Have a new cap and rotor on it. Plugs and wire are in good shape.
