They work fine for me.

When does it "idle fine?" Only after starting, after it's sit (set?
sat?) a while? If it stalls out, what happens if you start it
immediately without revving?

Sounds like the advance mechanism isn't returning properly after
revving. Put a timing light on it, rev it by hand, and watch to see if
it returns to the proper idle timing. Did you leave enough wire inside
the distributor so the plate can move unrestricted? Do you have the
spring under the distributor which pushes the drive gear down?
