Strip ignition distributor into bits. Limit advance mechanism travel movement. Original has too wide operating range for a tuned engine (i.e. sporty camshaft grind installed). You need more advance in idle/lower rpm range - but about the same advance as standard engine when in high rpm.

Rough guide - set idle advance to about 12 to 16 degrees BTDC. Make all advance come in at about 3500 to 3800 rpm. Max total advance about 34 degrees.
Experiment with one distributor bob weight only, stuff the stronger spring (most likely).

That will make engine run _much_ smoother than ridiciously advanced standard distributor mechanism, and will make more power too. Also having std distributor advanced like there is no tomorrow will help engine to knock under acceleration. That's no good.
