    Maybe tack is wrong???????

    I would get a back up tach to verify rpm

    I would take a piece of wire and tie dist advance solid to remove any advance, and then start car , see what it likes at idle, then see what it likes to rev up with, fix dist weights/springs so as to accomplish that advance ment as rapidly as possible and then put in the bushing that would give me that amount of degrees with the lightest springs possible that will pull the weights back to idle for shut down without dieseling
