12a having idle issue

Wanted your guy's take on this issue I'm having. Quick background. Carb was rebuilt about 3 yrs ago. Unfortunately the car ended up sitting a little over a year and has been giving me fits getting to run right. Have gone through it and replaced wires, plugs, fuel filter, coils, took out old gas and replaced with new. She was flooded to hell and I got her unflooded but currently running like how the video shows. 500 rpm then dies, I try to give it gas and dies. I'm not carb pro so wanted your guy's take on it. Thanks

Are the timing and air/fuel mixture set correctly?
