too much advance

93toyota said
I got a 71 duster w/ a 360 and having timing problems. I set the base at 10 degrees and checked the total timing at 300rpm and it is 45 degrees. Set the base at 0 and still went to 45. At 2000rpm the total is 35 degrees. Tried adjusting the advance and no change. Screwed ( turned clockwise) the advance in till it stopped and no change. Any advice?

What are you screwing? The vacuum advance adjustment screw inside the can?
You need to loosen the distributor hold down clamp and turn the whole distributor.
