Default strange timing on 351C

hooked up my timing lite on the "new" Pantera 351C and found something strange... perhaps you can help/explain it for me.... ? Has a Unilite distributor , no vacuum.

If i put it to 36 ° max the car was exhaust exploding once above 4000 rpm....
If i go 6 ° more the car runs perfect....

Now there's a painted stripe on the 6° mark as to show something by a former owner/mechanic....???

Can the balancer be another type with wrong degrees marking ? ( 6° less )
Found in the papers a mention of a Comp cam ... can a "race " cam demand 36 + 6 = 42° advance ????

Perhaps a "wrong" ?? fix pointer ???

Anyone has a idea ? can ofcourse check piston 1 top .....
