That should be a strong running engine. Describe how you calculated 32,34,36 total timing vs 24 degrees at 3k rpm - this is way too low. Initial timing + mechanical advance should be around 34-36 degrees and if using vacuum advance another ~10 degrees at light load. I would certainly verify the balancer hasn’t slipped. Was cam degrees-in? What is the history of the engine?
