Did you use a timing light or just rotate the distributor?

you need to adjust timing with spout removed and pointing a light at balancer and line up marks desired on balancer with pointer

well since you have A 95gt as i do also i will lend a thought or maybe ive been drinking too much **** man i dont know but anyways, whats the timing at now? do you know exactly where on the pointer your supposed to reference it to? anyhow if your 100% sure you did it right than maybe your balancer spun on you like mine did, did you check the timing before you tried to advance it? well 95's are prone to having spun balancers, if you checked your timing before you loosened your dizzy and it was at 10 than your cool but if you didn't it could have been previously spun, if so than back it down 2 degrees at a time, if it gets better back it down untill it runs right if it gets worse than try turning it up and go up untill it runs good just watch out for pinging, when i did mine my balancer was spun and i had to replace it, anyways let us know how its going.
