I read and re-read and still was not following you. so try this.
the number you are looking for is 20degrees B TDC, not after.
a couple of these things you did already.
pull and plug the vacuum line from the distributor (plug it onto the water valve on the thermostat cover, works well and always there)
do you have the 0 Degree or the 20 Degree mark on the flywheel highlighted? a dab of white paint? are you shooting down the "bombsite" in the plastic cover? you want to see the proper mark in the window.
if you have the 0 degree mark highlighted use the 20 degree btdc adjustment on the light
if you have the 20 degree mark highlighted use the 0 degree btdc adjustment on the light.
*generally* the distributor turned with the large end of the vacuum advance canister parallel to the ground is within a couple of degrees and the car will run.
