Hi James,
There should be an A<---->R cast on the body of the distributor around the
vernier. Ignition advance will be a factor in the symptoms you describe, but
low octane fuel (or anything sold by BP in my experience) will give identical
symptoms. Badly adjusted valves can also have some bearing, as can any other
tuning adjustment,
Cheers,
Bill.
