Good Morning...Just a humble comment...Our 1949 288 was set with a timing light and then 'adjusted' for modern 87 octane gasoline by ear of an old guy! Tim is certainly right about the distributor. It's cam may be warn out, the points block may be warn out...sometimes if it pings, retard the spark a bit and drive it around the block and maybe it takes a couple of passes to make her happy.
