Another stalls when put into gear thread

I'm in the process of getting an old A4 running in my "new to me" Catalina 30. After discovering and replacing a broken exhaust valve the engine still doesn't want to idle up and sometimes stalls when put into gear. I've checked the prop for fouling, checked and rechecked the firing order and timing, checked the exhaust (and even ran it disconnected to verify potential clogs/collapses) I've got compression and I have spark to all cylinders. I'm about to rebuild the carb but noticed last night that the ignition coil had oil in the top of it where the coil wire connects. Is this normal and could this be the source of my grief?
