been having alot of hesitation problems when i take off. replaced plugs and points. nothing. checked timing. it was at 4 degrees btdc. so i decided to loosen the distributor and drive down the street and make adjustments until the problem went away. got home and pulled timing and now im way advanced past the indicator. it accelerates good now but its knoking like crazy when i get in the throttle. anyone know whats causing this?

also just read that some 350s have a timing mark at around 2 o'clock and some at around 12. my timing mark is lining up at about 12 right now with the indicator gauge at 2. but if i advance it more wont my knocking get worse?
