Default 95 runs rough - need tuneup help

My 95 Sierra runs rough. Idles bad. Accelerating, I need to pump it to get up to speed. When I stop it wants to stall. I think its starved for gas.
I checked the rotor cap. Looks good, as does the cap. I took the distrib out because I broke off a distrib cap bolt (woops). Think I put the distrib in correctly but wonder if it is off a tooth.
It starts. I checked timing. When running best, and fairly smooth, the timing doesn't even register on the timing mark plate. When properly timed it runs like hell.
I did disconnect the plug thing under the dash (advance?).
Any help appreciated.

How about your fuel flow? Did you check fuel filter?

Recheck up distributor, cap and rotor. Also replace your plugs and wires. How many miles r on ur cap, rotor, plugs and wires?
