What engine is this and what is your "WOT issue"?

This a GM HEI or aftermarket?

Vacuum advance doesn't count at WOT unless the engine is way under carbureted.

Is that "9 mechanical adv." in crank degrees or distributor degrees?

9° at the crank is 4.5° in the distributor. Centifugal could be froze up and still get 4.5° in the distributor from end play. That's distributor shaft raising up with RPM and dropping back down at idle.
