Good habit. You might try nudging the advance a bit further, see how
it does. Good way to start is to loosen up the distributor and turn it
to where it idles the fastest, tighten it down and see how it drives
all the way warmed up, especially under heavy load. If it doesn't knock
or ping, you have gained a few free horsepower. A little pinging under
heaviest load is usually considered acceptable.
