I think the "24* at 3000rpms" scribed on the dist is the advance built into the distributor. That is not where you want total timing set. That is not enough timing and will cause high EGT's.
You want 32-34* total timing, so you have to set timing at idle to 8-10*. That plus the 24* built in to the dist will get you 32-34*.
