OK, cool. Your DA at 4 pm that day was 1919 feet.
Yep that's some terrible DA. 
That car I referenced the DA was in the 6K ft range...
So you have a ready to run distributor or e-curve with the circuit board? What settings are the switches?

At least with my post getting his DA figured out, he has some data to factor in with the weight of his car (when he gets it).
Then he will have some actual numbers to plug into some online calculators and not just have to listen to a bunch of "my completely different car (except for the small block part) did this ET or my friend's completely different car (except for the small block part) did that ET so your car should do this ET" which is mostly what he's been getting on this thread (unless you want to count the vac. secondary vs DP arguments too). Not real helpful to the OP in my opinion.
Plenty of good info in this thread if you sift through it. Like most threads, rarely a definitive answer to any substantive questions.
I was poking at the people saying DA was a factor in how poorly the car was running. I guess that's a non factor now.
Estimates on what this engine should be making are laughable. 300hp, PLEASE!!!
If a comparison to a car that has less engine in it, running 10-12mph faster in 4K worse DA isn't something to think about, then have at it. And please, the extra weight will slow the car about 4-5 mph.
Maybe the alleged smart people in this thread can sort out the issues why this car runs 8-10mph slower than it should. I know where I would start!

Just watched a very simple video on the MSD e-curve dist. They have to be set up backwards from normal centrifical dists and I was not doing that. Armed with a little more info on the dist I now need to figure out what the engine is looking with the timing then see about fuel delivery.

Who has a 750 DP laying around?
Throwing street use out the window?
A DP is the last carb you need on the street. It'll suck fuel like no tomorrow. Every time the pedal moves they shoot fuel on both sides.
You should be able to tune a single pump carb to perform perfectly on that kind of engine. The second pump shooter is best saved for the bracket guys.
Dude! You're so right there!
A well tuned 3310 can work well at what I call "Trying to straddle the fence" & is easier to tune tire spin in & out.
Do some gears & put that car on a manageable diet
You can wiggle weight out out of it here & there

The OP needs to weigh that thing before we get into too much detail. Yes MPH seems low, but that car could be pretty heavy which would explain most of that.
The car weighed in at 3950# and at the track with the driver that means 4110#. 
4100lbs, 94 mph = 315 crank hp give or take one's conversion for crank hp from rear wheel. For that cam, I'd say it's close. Even with good heads and spot on tuning I don't think it would make 1hp/cubic inch with that camshaft.
Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.
