Why didn't you use a timing light? Wouldn't that have been more accurate?
Just wondering.

Accurate timing lights cost a good amount of money and I was dead broke
at the time.
Adjusting the timing by ear isn't to hard. You start out with slightly
retarded timing, advance it a tiny bit each week until the engine buzzes
occasionally, then retard it until the engine runs quietly.

it could be your torque converter carching up with the engine.... or it
could be air whistling, coming in the throttle body... check it out!
