Replacing my distributor first time

Set the timing tonight. Runs really well at 16 degrees intial at 800rpm with 19.5 vacuum. Trailbeast's distributor has the mechanical all in at 34 degrees at 2,500 with 24Hg of vacuum. It's 33 degrees at 2,000 so it's a pretty quick curve. When I connected the vacuum advance it's total vacuum is 54 at 2,000 (doesn't change from there to 3,000). The car has some snap to it now!
