GM Heritage specs call for 4 degrees btdc at 550 rpm, make sure the dwell is correct first at 28-32 degrees at idle, then adjust the timing. If you advance the timing too far, the idle speed will be too high. I have mine at 6 degrees and things work pretty well. When you disconnected the vacuum line between the diaphragm and the distributor, did you plug the end of the line when test driving?
