yes it is a square intake with this adaptor https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Unive...SABEgLt7vD_BwE

#2, engine will probably ant initial timing somewhere between 16-20* BTDC
#3 the stock carb metering will be out too lunch. don't know what to suggest with your cam/comp....can't help you there as cams that large I have a Holley Carb on it.
Yup, that's the one. But like I said it does the samething when dry fired.

Those cams are going to want a lot more ignition advance at idle too.

Bump it to 20* initial (idle) ......but DO NOT drive the boat like that since that will likely be overtimed once the centrifugal advance kicks in....this is simply seeing what it wants for idle timing.

You will likely need to reduce the amount of centrifugal advance so you can run more initial and not overtime the engine while running at higher RPM under load.

What is your total timing now?
