I need help to solve an ignition issue.

I use a stock 1935 distributor with an external coil and I got a clear blue spark at the sparkplugs. Tested on the sparkplug wires.
I also checked the sparkplugs today and found 2 not working - number 3 and 6.
I’m using Champion D16 but I ordered 8 new Motorcraft instead.
The Champion plugs fails every time they get wet from gasoline.

I replaced the points and the vacuum brake in the distributor.
When I give the engine some rev it both back- and after fires.

The carb is a new Stromberg with 0.048 jets and a 65 power valve.

I have tried to setup the distributor by TDC on number one and set the ignition to 4 degrees BTDC by moving the plate 2 lines clockwise to get 4 degrees advance.

But I'm pretty sure I done something wrong.

I don’t have access to at timing device and living in Denmark it’s hard/impossible to find someone that can setup the distributor correct.

Does someone have a bullet proof method for this?
