Yes, I'm jumpering it.

I'm not hearing any pinging. If I go less than 15 degrees, the engine stumbles progressively more severely. Advancing it causes it to run more smoothly, with better throttle response.
Sorry I am too lazy to look it up. Yes the distributor goes in one way, but the rotor can mesh via gear into different positions right? If there is a flat key space at the bottom then it can go in 2 different ways (one with rotor pointing at TDC on cyl 1 and pointing the opposite way)

Also I would not assume your cam timing is right just because you have never changed it. I got a sr20 for a swap awhile back and the distributor was off 15 Degrees due to the rotor being 1 tooth off.

I would pull cover, put engine @ tdc, check cam gears, verify the rotor is @ cyl1 on the distributor... if that is all good then start looking at ECU control issues. (computer advancing timing, etc or other sensor problems, or vacuum leak)
