So… just to prove my mechanical incompetence.. or my faulty math skills. I finally figured out the timing struggles. New balancer is marked 0-60 and it turns out 40= 16 dg of timing… referencing the 16 mark on the balancer equated to roughly 6 dg btdc.

Not surprisingly the truck runs a whole lot better with some advance.
