Can't advance timing?
I really don't like "dial up" lights as a rule and rarely use one. I've been burned in the past by a couple-three that were not accurate. Also if you are not "astute" you can lead yourself down the wrong road
Also can be confusing is if you have the balancer marked with "marks" but not marked in numerical degrees, you can easily confuse yourself
The FACTORY marks are "retard" or AFTER TDC going clockwise "down" towards the pan as in this photo:
Advanced is up towards the water pump
I would do a couple of things here:
1.....Get / make a piston stop and find TRUE TDC to start with
2.....Beg or borrow a NOT dial up light at least long enough to make sure yours is accurate with the dial at zero
