What can I do that's cheap?

You need to be able to limit total timing somehow. This is where the Mallory distributor comes in. You will want somewhere around 20 initial and 34-36 total. My Ford truck, for example. It has a 351M engine. They have notoriously low compression. I have it at 24 initial and 34 total. It's actually very snappy for a 351M. They are usually dogs.

Can't you take the dizzy out and weld up the advance slot then file it accordingly to limit travel?

Sure. If you are lucky enough to have a welder and know how to use it. Not everyone is as blessed as you and I.
 
So it looks like I'm going to order some new springs and recurve my distributor? Any other ideas for the rest of the week?
