when I hooked up the vacuum advance back to the distributor, the idle timing jumped up to about 38 at idle, and when revving, it went all the way up to about 55 degrees. How is that possible?




Most likely becouse your vac.can on the dizzy has 8.5 degrees of advance (17 @ the crank), & you have it hooked to full vac. port.

Have paitience, ask all the questions you need to and your problem will be solved
