422 dyno fail

I never dyno tested for a living but it would seem to me that a dyno tester who saw something amiss would suggest some troubleshooting a bit. Changing jetting, using a known good dyno carb, etc. When I went to have a dyno done on my car it was just for assessment on a dynojet. The owner and tester suggested that timing may be too far advanced and he would love to do a dyno tune and not just a test. He was a racer and knew his stuff. I will wait and watch attentively how this pans out and I hope to learn a lot from this. I am speaking not just what was wrong but how to navigate the build, test, retest etc. Good Luck.
Years ago I was at a shop that had an engine dyno. When I was talking to the guy who ran it, I said it must be good to have that tool on hand. His reply was that after using it for so long he was not very excited to use it anymore. Needles to say I didn't get him to dyno anything for me, because I couldn't be sure he was going to do his best, and not just jump through the hoops for a few bucks.
Some of the dyno sheets I saw later from this shop just had the very basic info on the data readout sheets.
