Maybe someone else knows for sure.
Have you tried ignoring your tach and timing numbers and just advance your distributor to see how the motor runs.
Just loosen the dizzy enough that it will move with a bit of effort.
If the rpm increases be sure to control it with the idle screw.
Have you had the point plate out to inspect the weights and springs?

Ive adjusted it a few times just by hearing but I dont think ive put it much farther than 10-12. Yesterday when i messed with the distributor and it jacked the advance up to like 16* after it was almost sounding as if it were missing and the idle was super high. I can try it again though.
No I have not had the plate out.
