Weber Dirven Gsl-se

I have a 45 sidedraft weber on my gsl-se motor, and the car seems hard to tune. Is there anyone out there that has experience with these and what jets and emulsion tubes that you used. Also I am new to the rx7 world and I am having trouble with timing. I can set my leading timing right at 0 degrees but me trailing timing is way off. i I adjust it to 20 degrees ATDC before I even get close It dies. Any help with timing would be great. My book gives little help. I also need to know what Iddle speed is recommended for timing. If you have any information It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
-Josh
