Good Initial Timing and Too much Total Timing Problem. Seeking guidance to minimize total timing. 1969 Swinger 340 4 Gear

You need to limit the mechanical advance in the distributor. There are multiple ways to do it. Fbo plate weld the slots. The newer aftermarket style distributors have a torque screw you loosen and adjust it that way.
This distributor is an ‘’Accel’’. Does anyone know if I can limit timing on this one? What type of improvements might I see once I get total timing reduced?
