I’ve set it like that a few times with the bumper tied to a power pole when the emergency brake cable was broke.
I’ve used a vac advance limiter like in this link to control total vac advance.

Your motor likes lots of initial. Likely your vac pot needs a few tweaks.
I grew up as tool assistant in my dad's shop where he built performance cars, bikes, and boats, so there are a FEW things I do know haha. He told me a story about a friend he used to have that would pull the bumper up to a telephone pole and advance initial until the tires spun and then call it tuned. You old dudes are wild haha.

Thanks for the link. I'll definitely look into it. Last night and today have been the first drives since making changes, so it may take a bit to get it perfect.
