Be that as it may, what is your dwell? It should be 31º - 34º. Looking at your distributor cam, that's worn enough to be an issue. Those lobes should be a lot "sharper".

ETA- oops, no points. I expect that the Hall Effect is a bit "tamed" by the lack of a sharp trigger edge. Maybe find someone with a stock distributor and swap it in for an experiment before condemning that one. But I do suspect that that is an issue.
