RE: Timing problems - LONG!

Joel, Gerry & Dave, thanks for resoponding!
I have verified that the dampener hasn't moved.
Below is how the mechanical advance is on the dist machine: 1 degree @ 500 Dist rpm,
5 degrees @ 800 rpm, 10 degrees @ 1400 rpm,
15 degrees @ 2000 rpm. On the engine I see the same, taking into consideration dist rpm vs engine rpm and dist degrees vs crank degrees and my initial setting of 17 degrees.
Is the "15L stop" one of the weights or marked on them?
I have verified the vac advance to be 26 degrees on the crank. I played with turning the allen screw inside, it seems that this makes the vac advance need more vacuum to actuate it. It still seems to pull all 26 degrees but just later. When I Made this adjustment the car has less and less power when you take off, to the point of needing to slip the clutch. I've set it back to pull vary early. I do have another vac advance, I'll try it.
When the car is ramped up in rpm with out the vac advance hooked up it sounds vary smooth. With the vac advance hooked up it flutters quite a bit. But when you drive it it's dog with out the vac advance hooked up.
Is it fair to say that it will respond diferently under a load??
If any of you need more info to make a more informed decission please let me know.

Thanks for the help, Todd
