Yes. I have had that issue on my iron head motor in the past.

We are running 34 deg mechanical, and have tried 44 total advance with a stop welded on the canister. I also removed the stop and let it advance fully to 48-50, which seemed a little better than 44 cruise advance.

As I think about it, full advance was not coming in until close to 4k rpm. I could put a lighter spring in dist to bring full advance in a little earlier. 4spd car so should be able to be a little more agressive with the advance.

On a side note, we did run this engine on the dyno after the build, and check points like exhaust Temps, A/F, etc were in good shape. Newer aluminum 15" radiator, fan clutch, decent fitting shroud, and aftermarket steel 7 blade fan.
