Hey guys so I just replaced all my ignition system and I got my pickup timed but now it seems to have no power like before do I need to advance the timing more?

I had the distributor replaced once before and it did the same thing and had the dealership retime it and ran fine after that and I had to replace it again myself it just wasn't times right again so I advanced the timing from 10*
