I had this problem on a 78 beetle, we'd assumed the distributor was correct for the year etc but it turned out someone had swapped it over for something from a 74 panel van. The timing set ups were totally different. We still couldn't get it perfect but it was better. However, in the long run we did buy a correct second hand one.
