360 Tune Up

Hey Guys. Did some more testing and I have to say that she seems to run better with the higher initial timing but the numbers scare me. By better I mean Idle quality, higher vacuum and more seat of the pants power. No pinging or nocking.
730 RPM. 28' 45' w/vac can
1000. 28' 45'
1500. 36' 53
2000. 43' 60 max
2500. 45' max

When I set the initial timing back to "normal" the idle drops and I had to adjust it back up. Still has good power and fires right up with twist of the key, no gas in either case. Car runs at 190 deg as well.

700 RPM. 16 deg
1000. 16'
1500. 26'
2000. 30'
2500. 32'
3000. 35'
3400. 37' max

Pretty much textbook with maybe slightly too much total timing which I can limit however something doesn't make sense with the numbers. I am going to leave it this way for now because we are road tripping in it tomorrow for a few days and about 400 miles.
I'll try switching to my spare distributor and more testing when I get back.
