'65 won't stay running

well I figured out the fuel and starting issues, now when I start the car it will run for a few seconds and just sputter out and die. it seems to run better if I hold the choke plate closed. does the fact that the air cleaner isn't on it affect it enough to make it not run properly? I noticed the balancer doesn't have timing marks on it, I tried rotating the distributor a lil bit and it didn't make much difference...I'm new to carb'ed motors, what should I do?
