Default B16a Tuning / Timing Problems

Whats up people... Hope you guys *and gals* can help me out here:

I have a b16a in my 89 Civic and am having problems with getting it running right. It is far from stock...

I recently blew the head and just swapped in a new head that has a stage 1 P&P and all Ferrea valve train. It is sitting on a stock block with a Spoon head gasket... I have stock cams with adjustable gears, AEBS intake manny, Toda TB, and all MSD standalone ignition.

Sounds nice right? Heres my problem... I cannot get it to run stable. The closest ive gotten is by advancing the timing 10 degrees intake & exhaust, and still it is nowhere near stock timing the mark on the pulley. At best it is a little short of the TDC mark.

What am I doing wrong here? I haven't worked on a honda motor in a couple years and have gotton somewhat Chevy 350 brainwashed... so it is tough getting back into the swing of things. It used to run so strong, and now it barely idles. Any help is greatly appreciated...
