So how much difference does advancing the timing make? I'm willing to try it, but I won't bother if it's not even noticeable. And what does it do exactly? Does it delay the spark, or ignite it earlier? I know you need to use premium fuel to avoid pinging; is this because it gets compressed further? Help me out here.

well i loosened the top bolt and the one under it and turned to see how it sounded(with my exhaust) then test drove it and couldnt really notice so i turned it away from me as far as it would go (no pinging ) and i noticed a little jerk from 1st to 2nd. and throttle response is a little better.
move the distributor to the fire wall?
all can move?
