It could be a small exhaust leak. The 2 Silver springs give a faster advance curve than the Blue ones (you can mix them if you want). 10.5-11.2 is not rich, it is Lean. Get a stethascope and "probe" around, it may be something in your valvetrain too. Without it being under load I doubt it is detonating. Set your initial timing to be around 14-17 with total at 34.
