It could be more than just timing. It may be a worn base plate in the distributor or any number of other parts are worn inside it. I mucked around with timing for quite a while until I spent bucks getting a fully rebuilt dizzy done by a dizzy specialist. He ran it on a test bench and checked the curve etc.

Run like a dream ever since. Well worth the $180.

7.5 deg BTDC with timing light at between 950 & 850 revs, no point in adjusting or querying auto shift quality until engine is running correctly,
make sure it is not idlling more than 1000 revs in park or nuetral
