I degreed the pulley on my 8BA. I just looked at it, and 1 1/2" is about 25 degrees. I experimented with various static timing settings with my engine, but not as high as 25 degrees. If the engine starts well, it should run well at that position if no advance is working. I don't see where you have checked the advance to work or the carb to create vacuum. The vacuum can looks new, but we all know how that goes.

The advance was tested and works as it should. I have been able to observe the advance with the timing light. My current vacuum is a steady 14, and I am at 8300 ft. The can is new as the old one had a slow leak. The distributor was set, with the the line off the can and blocked back to the carb.
The car runs great with full power, while claiming 3,100 ft in 13 miles, coming from Denver back home to Conifer. Performance is not an issue here, but rather the location of the TDC bump on the pulley.
