Solutions for too much compression

So what ignition do you have? I know everyone wants to lock it out, but unless you are using points the ignition system WILL retard with RPM.

So you need to figure out what you have and how to work with it.
Mopar Performance distributor with vacuum advance and orange ignition box. Mechanical advance adds about 25 degrees right now, but I am putting in one
3 initial? Dang! 22 total?!?!

I run 18-20 initial and totals between engines varies between 32-36 depending on the head. Your cam timing sounds out of wack.
I just checked because you mentioned cam timing.
It looks to be correct.
