360 noise????timming issue?

I resealed the 360 in my new project, runs well but has developed a noise, sounds like a noisey p/s pump, tonight I removed p/s belt , noise is still there, figured it has to be alt, removed that belt and noise is still there.really bumbed now, listend with a stethoscope, too hard to pinpoint, seems to be loudest at p/s pump bracket, maybe behind water pump, could the harmonic balancer be making noise? I do have another issue, while timimng the motor, trying to set full advance timing at 36 degrees as eninge rpms increased timimg did not, this is with vacumm advance unhooked, what could be the cusae of this? stuck weights?is there any reason the previous owner would have fixed them at a steady position?

any opions or ideas welcome,
