Buddies 170 is a DOG!

It was a couple years ago but I believe I elongated the adjustment slot or trimmed the end to get the extra. Give it all you can and it will not hurt it. I used a V8 light advance spring in place of the stiff factory one to get the centrifical in earlier too.

I was going to suggest that. Change the springs I do that to all my mopars electronic or points. And I don't bother running the vacuum advance. Then crank up the timing while its off idle. BIG difference in slant performance! Mine goes full advance at like 1200rpm or something. Check the valves too. I like to tighten mine by ear while it's running then go back and just make sure they are not too tight.
