You need to:) 1. Test the cooling system to make sure there is no leakage. 2. Verify the timing is exactly set according to the manual using the procedures to make sure all timing points are set on the marks exactly. One or two degrees can cause rough idling but still let the car run. 3 Go over everything you did, make sure there is nothing disconnected like a vacuum hose, any wiring. (you can spray carb cleaner around the vacuum lines to see if you notice a change in the idle if it hits a leaking area, use caution, this is flammable and should only be done a few seconds at a time, then aired out. good luck!
