I had the same problem with a Mallory dual point distributor in an 8BA. I installed a Chrysler pickup in it and used it on a Mallory electronic ignition module. Had a lot of problems, one of them like yours. The advance springs were too heavy. Sent it to Bubba's to get the correct springs installed and the advance curve adjusted. Runs perfect now!! I realize you are in Italy and sending it would be a major problem - but it is a cure.
