It could be that the module is stuck at full advance on the engine that is at 33* @ idle. What happens to engine with more rpms??? Does it advance more??????

You don't HAVE to pull the blower or remove the distributor. You can just move every plug wire on the distributor cap 1 or 2 spots as long as you keep them in order.
