Default need help with 64/74 pan shovel

Alright, I made a trip a few weeks ago, and without my knowing the top engin mount bolt came undone; this leading to the others looseing and in one case braking off. Since getting home I've tightened them all back up, and replaced any broken or missing nuts and bolts. My problem now is that its running snappier or hotter than it should be and wont idole long or at all. I'm down to thinking the timing may have gotten a little off on my loose engin ride. I've checked over the battery its got a good charge all electrical connections that i can think of are tight. Have also taken the carb apart and cleaned it in thoughts of dirty gas. Any help would be much apprishiated.

You may want to look at the intake manifold seals (vacuum leak will cause no or bad idle and running hot)
