Did you replace the return spring with a stronger one? At least a few years ago, the supplied spring was VERY weak.
Also, did you check the adapter plates for flatness? And sand flat use a sheet of glass as surface? And use sealant such as Permatex Aviation on the gaskets? And make sure that ALL the vacuum ports are plugged, as you only really need the one to the distributor advance. These can have significant vacuum leaks otherwise.
