Default Fixed High Idle, but.....

1982 Crossfire was idling about 2.5K in park. Fixed that with much help/researching I did on this forum thanks. Ended up being a bad IAC. SO here's what I've put on the car besides the new IAC:
Cap/Rotor
O2 Sensor
Water Coolant temp Sensor

Now it idles correctly, but runs semi-rough at idle. If I unplug the EST lead to set the timing, it stalls before I can get it to 6 BTC. With it set on 8 BTC and plug in the EST, it backfires bad through the TBIs (whiteish with maybe a hint of blie smoke). Right now I have it at 36 BTC?? I turn the dial on back of my timing gun to 30 advance and the timing mark lines up perfectly on the 6 BTC. This can't be right can it?? With it in this position it also sounds like there is some serious detonation in the mufflers. Any ideas???
