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

You might try [using an allen wrench placed into the hose port] adjusting the vac canister spring. The spring will adjust 8 full turns, stop to stop. Tightening the spring [clockwise?] will slow the VA if advance coming on too quick. I would check the initial setting before I make any adjustments, by counting the number of turns left and right.
Vacuum Canister Basic:

CCW turns = higher vacuum needed to begin adding advance [later advance]

CW turns = lower vacuum needed to begin adding advance [sooner advance]

*Neither effects rate of advance
