on the mopar performance distributor i got it was set at full mechanical advance of 28*, i i remember correctly. i just turned 2 torx screws and changed that to what i wanted. when looking at distributors make sure you get a quality one. some of the cheaper ones don't have the screws.

You would want 36-38 total w vac disconnected so if 15 initial is working good for you with JimG's chart ~.410" would get you very close and you might play with the springs also

support the dist solidly in a padded vise, take out the felt,with your longest/thinnest set of needle nose pliers grab one end of the clip,whip it around sideways & up & out & it'll come out slightly bent but havent hurt one yet.

Then it's not the fault of the vacuum advance. Since vacuum advance falls to zero at wide open throttle, or even before wide open throttle it's not usually the problem.
The plate modification will ONLY change the number of degree between initial and total timing. What you may be experiencing is too much timing too soon. With a timing light note what the rpm the timing changes as you rev it higher.
If it's coming in too soon it'll need a stronger advance spring.

The crane springs listed are not available anymore but some of this chart may be beneficial
