Default M38A1 timing...?

Okay well it's running and the float hand the hole had to be the problem but now timing seems out as it wants to pop and fart when trying to throttle up quickly...although if it is throttled up slowly it does fine.

Not knowing how the spark advance works...I assume its sentrifical weights?
and not vancuum? or both and the vaccuum advance is internal to the disrtibutor? any ideas?

Also to adjust the distributor to at least get it to run well enough is there a place to advce the spark or is it a turn the whole distributor like a small block chevy etc?

I had an English austin that had a ratchet type of small incremneted adjustment that allowed you to adjust the timing by rotating the ratchet one way or the other to adjust and never had to touch the distributor.

Well thanks in advance...Hope I am on the right track...
