Default Point settings, spark knock and loss of power.

Helped a buddy change out rotor cap, points/condensor on his '70. The book called for .018 points gap and 8 degrees BTDC. We got rid of the spark knock after the points change, but timing was a little out. Spark knock went away, but the motor seemed to fall flat with full out throttle. Ok, rechecked points, reset timing, and spark knock came back as well as less performance. The motor is an original 350/330 horse motor, I think a L48. Looking for some ideas that I might be missing. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!!!
