Jeff,
you don't have any centrifugal advance stops. Everything is built into the weights. All you have is the pins the weights sit on. If the pins are worn, or the hole in the weights are ovaled out, then the timing will be irratic and maybe have a tad too much advance. This was what happened to my old distributor. Stock GM HEI's are supposed to have 20 degrees of advance at the crank and it had close to 22. Worn weights was the cause. But I don't think this could be so bad to where it would cause spark knock the way yours is doing it. It's a fact, something is not right with yours. If I remember correctly, you have always had this trouble since you swapped out distributors, right? Have you checked the balancer yet?
