Tuning help

[JOZW30]

Thanks for all the help guys. Seems I've got my tuning woes surrounded.

The two size up jet change realy helped the lean surge (it's almost completely gone).

When I went to really dial the timing in, I discovered that I am only getting 11 degrees of mechanical advance. It is there at about 1900 RPM, and doesn't go any further. It's not the original distributor (generic re-manned 455). I do have it though.

I'm assuming this is not good. My question is, what is my best solution? Can someone recommend a distributor guru? How much does a dialed-in distributor (I'd prefer to leave this to an expert)cost? Is it possible to buy them "off the shelf", or is it only possible to get your original re-done?

Last question, is it OK to drive the car this way? I mean, am I hurting anything or just giving up performance?

Thanks again!
