I have the correct unit for my 228 GMC, so I am still working on getting my advance back.

Any advice?
Did you dig deeper into the distributor to determine the condition of the mechanical advance mechanism? There are springs, advance weights, and the pins which the weights ride on. Lots of places for wear to occur.
