have a non dialback you could try. What Cab said either a dist prob or the light. 2&1/4" (2.246") CW from the TDC slit is 35.5 degrees.

Using two different non-dial back timing lights. Both show the same results. 34 degrees with no movement of timing over the rpm range.

Unless the 34 degrees is giving you a problem starting I wouldn't worry about it. Some people prefer to have it locked anyway.

If it was me (laz-z-boy tuner giving worthless advice) I'd see if I could find someone local with a distributor machine and have them spin both of them up. And then you can maybe get a better handle on what is happening and take some variables out of the equation.
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

put the dampener at 15 BTDC #1 compression (or what your preferred initial # is) & turn the housing till the tooth is dead even with the magnet with the rotor under the #1 plug wire dist cap terminal (I'm assuming your Rotor Phasing is acceptable) & lock it down. timing light trigger clamp on #1 plug wire (not being rude just covering everything). fire it up & see what happens. I still think it is a MSD issue.

The weights being free to move will not matter if the advance mechanism is jammed/locked. With the unit installed or the shaft being held, you should be able to turn the rotor/reluctor assembly to some degree (1/4"-3/8") and have it be pulled back to the base location by the springs. Obviously, the unit with the heavy springs will require more effort to turn, but neither should require a lot of effort to move.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Big cam? You may like it better with the advanced all in at idle once it's all said and done.

Just spit balling here but could the distributors be for a small block? If I remember right the shaft is the same length as an RB or Hemi.....
