i checked the balancer and it hasn't moved. it is a romac unit with marks to show if there is any movement. and as far as i know the distributor is in right. thats why i thought my timing light was going bad. with the rotor lined up to the #1 terminal in the cap, and #1 cylinder on TDC, it shows up as 30degrees advanced using the light.

Maybe borrow a new gun to make sure but if you're readings are correct you should only need 16 degrees initial and 20 mechanical as a good base ( vacuum unplugged ).
The car should run with 16 degrees unless you set up the idle for the crazy initial timing and the carb screw is out way too far. Ideally you'd want 36 total and 48 cruise with the vacuum advance on. Springs can cause a bounce on the gun if they don't seat properly.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
