I think I'm understanding you right this time...
Basically you're wanting 18 degrees initial with 38 degrees total....right? And you had them recurve the distributor to make that happen...but they're telling you to just time it by the total and not worry about the initial, right?
If you let it idle and put a timing light on it, what does it read at idle with the total at 38?
If this were my engine and I figured out that I wanted it to run at 18I and 38T, then I would tell them to curve it so that I got 20 degrees of advance and where I wanted it to be in at. Then I would just set the initial at idle, then check the total at that rpm.
