47 degrees initial time? help!!!

Nice. You can always pop the distributor apart later and round file some material out to get a bit more mechanical if needed.

Cars/engines are much snappier of idle when they have the initial timing they want. People that total time stuff miss out on this because the old books say it just doesn't matter. A lot of "carb" issues are really rooted in a poor timing profile. Congrats on the tuning success.
