Well, you're forgetting at least one thing. While cruising the 009 runs 
at constant full advance. This may not be the main source of your 
symptom, but it is a contributing factor relative to the stock distributor.

To even guess at your jetting needs, I expect we'll need to hear what 
size valves you're running and whether you've ported the heads and 
exhaust. I imagine you've switched to dual-port heads, right?

=> is 7.5 btdc the correct setting

Maybe, but probably not. You'll have to determine the full advance of 
your particular distributor. Manufacturing tolerances on the 009 are 
quite loose. I'd recommend you buy or borrow a timing light with an 
advance adjustment, which will make this job easy as pie.
