My timing was initially set at 4° and I turned the distributor just a smidge it to advance it

Seems like theres potential the timing could be retarded too much and its causing your issues with not wanting to start back up after being ran a while
Try 8 or 10° and see if it does it anymore

That might necessitate enrichening your idle mix a little also, but perhaps not

I run 12 degrees on my K5 and 14 on the 66 Impala.
Always be sure your ignition system is working as it should before fiddling with the carb.

Search Uncle Tony's Garage on youtube, this guy knows tons about carbs and ignition and all the other stuff.
He's a Mopar guy but the principles are the same for all engines.
