What kind of distributor is it? Do you have a dial back light or degreed balancer? With that cam you want about 20-24 degrees initial timing and 34-40 degrees total. Most stock Chrysler distributors have about 22-24 degrees of advance in them. This is where you need to start. Getting the ignition timing right for the engine takes WORK. You likely won't find a parts store item that will drop in and run properly with the engine specs you have. Simple test. Get car warmed up. Twist distributor a little bit clockwise. If it picked up idle RPM, the engine WANTS more timing than where you currently have it set!
