[QUOTE=73kay;7988546]Hey Guys,

I can only thing that maybe the dizzy springs aren't right and the vacumn advance is off somehow.

Check these, if the springs are loose / worn it could advance too quickly (can even stick), vacuum advance come into play under a load (climbing hills) I like where your initial timing is set, I wouldn't go less than 10°. Confirm that the balancer / timing pointer is reading correctly (0° on balancer is true TDC) Also, try running super unleaded.
