Default L-72 tune up

Well my COPO runs!!but.........its very sluggish on the bottom side of the RPM range. I have 12 degrees intial advance but it doesnt seem to want to run at anything below 1200 RPM and as soon as any load is on it it want to stall!! Anyone have any tune up specifics I can use to help this monster run any better?? Jeyy Macniesh did the distributor and it is set up for a L-78 motor not a L-72 if that makes any difference. Cam is a solid roller .575 intake and .597 exhaust 112 degree lobe center..not real radical..I can get the cam card later if needed. Thanks

ALbert
