I'm not sure what your experience will be when you turn this around 180 but we had the same issue years ago on a 400 that was built by a chevy guy. Once I turned it around, that car picked up like never before. That may not be the only contributing factor as we replaced the springs on the distributor as well but I did so many stop sign peg leg rolling smoke shows with it right after that and even picked up my brother to show him.
Here is a pic from July '98 coming off the light at the drags and that after a "healthy" burn out:
