Sounds like the damper is bad, the outer ring will slip on the center throwing the timing marks off. You need to verify top dead center on number one and see were the mark is on the damper. If it's off it's time for a new one.

Has it ever run good at all?
Did it run good with the old Ignition and Dist. in it?
12* should be a good start. But try 6* and see if that helps..
Got good Voltage?
as for the tach.... Red to + fused ignition, Black to a good Ground-, White should hook to a parking light, Green to the - side if the coil, That should fix the tach...
