HELP PLEASE

Evening guys and gals, I've got three problems I need help with. The first question is I've borrowed a timing light so I can set the timing in my van correctly but I cannot seem to get a reliable beam. I thought it was broken so I tried it on the falcon and its all good. I tried a different sent of leads with no luck. The second question is I've got the timing reasonably close where the van idles nicely but when I give it more than 1/3 throttle it back fires and runs poorly? It's a 1.6l with a new electronic dizzy, leads and coil. Finally the last question is that my hazard light switch is interfering with my indicators as in sometimes the indicators will not work until I flick on the hazards a few time then they seem to work. If anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated.
 
P.s. May have to stick on working on falcons, it seems like I have no dramas changing gearboxes and engines in them :(

I purchased the whole dizzy so I really dont want to buy another dizzy... The car idles fine its just when I give it a bit it will run rough and backfire... Maybe it is firing unevenly but it runs (at idle) as if nothing is wrong...
 

if you got the whole distributor thats great, the drop in points replacement kits seem to give grief

If theres something you don't understand, ring Bernie at "4R Motors" on 03-97868187 after 3pm most weekdays, or email me at      agrademechanic@hotmail.com

The blinker cct goes through the hazzard light switch, good chance the hazzard switch is the cause.

I think the switch is the problem because if I fiddle around with it the indicators will work and hazards will work... So I guess I'll get another one. Also the clip for the speedo cable is broken, am I able to use a little glue or tape to hold it into place for a while? Money is getting scarce at the moment as I need to pay rego and tyres for the falcon real soon. Also I was filing around with the timing and I've gotten rid of the back fire but the on;y way to accelerate through the rev range is to baby the throttle, if I stamp on this she will die. Also there was bubbles coming out between the #2 and #3 cylinder head and the extractors. Looks like butter/sugar caramelising in a pan. I took the muffler off because I suspect it may have a blocked muffler as the exhaust is a bit rusty and has seen better days... I haven't started it yet since I was 8pm at night when I finished and next door has a baby. I haven't checked it yet still since I've got a big uni test in a few days so I've been hitting the books. Also if the exhaust isn't blocked I have no idea why there is bubble coming up, my other lead to not being able to rev up quickly is the carby (32/36) is over fuelling the 1.6 kent.
 
As always, any help is appreciated.

Here is a few pics to help explain what I'm saying. Also when the engine is about to die it shoots fuel mist  up and out of the carby, I have a feeling this is not normal and the only thing I can think of to stop this is to reduce the idle and/or air-fuel mixture screw... As always any help is appreciated.
