Erratic Timing
Sketched the '72 maximum timing onto the '68, and also marked your 1* at 1100 rpm.
Based on what you've posted, if you can get 5* at 800, that would be pretty good. Then see how it drives.
If it has some cam in it, it may not like 0* or even 5* at 600 rpm.
If it is some cam, probably will like an initial more like a pre-smog 273 4bbl (or maybe a police pursuit 318 4bbl using a 340ish cam, I've not seen those timing curves)
That does suggest its not too radical. It still might like a curve with a little more advance in the begining. Funny thing is that electronic ignition distributor's curve may already do that for you!
