I wouldn't advance it too much if not at all if you haven't replaced the cam with a performance one, and even then, not much at all. If you advance it too much, you will have problems starting it and it will flutter at high rpm
With the car running at idle, advance your distributor. Adjust the idle screw down take the car for a ride. If everything functions like you want and the motor runs good your good. If you advanced too far you will get a spark knock. This can cause serious damage if driven long this way. Go back home retard the timing and take for another ride. Keep repeating until you get the response you want and spark knock goes away
