Thanks everybody. I ended up buying a new Accel HEI distributor (the mechanical advance in the other distributor was froze up and one of the posts the mechanical advance connects to broke off). I set the total timing at 3000rpms to 36 and thats putting me at 20 degrees initial (a lot better than 42 degrees initial ). Needless to say I shouldn't be having any more starter issues. I kept the factory springs in it since total timing is reached at 2700rpm by I might mess with them later. Thanks again.
