 timing is perfect according the timing lite but the vacum gauge says the
timing is out ????
Vacuum gages are for vacuum  Timing lights are for timing. Period.  While the c vaccum gaige can give you a clue thatproblems exist and need to be corrected too much can also be read into it. 
Oftenwith some 4 bbls thecarb linkage is touchingthe adapter and will not return to normal position. Also AFBS need a complete full botyom under them as they have a lot of extra channels and such on the bottom. Adapters are usually made for holleys and often dont seal all the way for an AFB. 
I just did this swap with a friend last fall. We ported the manifold and drilledthe carbs on the inner holes inthe gaset so we needed no adapters. Works fine. We were driving it last weekend. June 1&2
Take a hose  about3 feet long and go arond the base of the carbs to see if you can hear a leak. 
If you are in doubt about your timing mark check it manually with a spark plug removes  and a plastic straw in the hles to feel the pistons movement.You will know soon enough by checking it. using a plastic strw prevents you from damaginfg anything in the cylinder. Have a friend crank the motor with asocket on the cank so you can tell .
