Your total timing is adjusted using the slots inside, the initial is set at idle with the advance disconnected using a dial back timing light. Do you have an adjustable timing light? Is so set it at 18 advanced, back off the distributor to bring the timing marks to 0. Then bring the rpms up 2300 and check the total. It should still be at 36.

Only if the distributor is set up for that properly, you will probally have to lengthen the slot that the advance pins ride in to get what you want I'm suprise that your motor starts at 23 BTDC initial
