kevin,
Is that a mechanical advance? If so, then the advance is probably sticking or the springs are too tight.
Here is a video showing the correct "snap back" for the advancer.

kevin,
I guess we have to have a better description of your problem. Are you now saying that the advance goes past full advance but doesn't advance until 4,000 RPM and that is why you are lacking acceleration before you get to 4,000 RPM? If the base timing is set correctly, then it should not go past full advance unless the advancer is worn out and needs to be replaced. Also, the timing light works best on one of the two spark plug wires, so try the other wire. Also #2, did you try the snap back test?

The PMA and PAMCO were just installed last week, i can start out in 1st
gear and roll the throttle but it will not accelerate unless i grab some clutch
and get the rpms up, but once i back
off its back to square one again. I will try the snap
back test when i get home from work.

Your clutch could be slipping. Is the clutch adjusted correctly at the engine side cover and at the lever? What type oil are you using?

I tried the snapback test everything seems to be working . I am going to disassemble the Pamco and reinstall . Before I reinstall it I'm going to find top dead center using a timing sticker from HHB.I
watched Hugh's video on the Pamco install, maybe there's a chance I missed something.
