Normally by turning the distributor, in conjunction with a strobe timing light
No
The vacuum canister can advance 24 degrees beyond initial timing.
Timing is computer controlled, you can not.
There is no such thing as a timing advance wire on a 84 El Camino.
Ignition Timing Advancers are mechanical 'bolt-on' pieces to advance the ignition timing of the engine to a specific degree of timing advance. The majority of its application for these parts are for motorcycles or on racing applications.

To determine the proper function of the vacuum advance on a 22R motor, you can use a timing light to check the ignition timing at idle and then rev the engine to observe if the timing advances as expected. Disconnect the vacuum advance line and check for a change in timing; it should revert to a base timing setting. Additionally, you can apply vacuum to the advance unit using a hand-held vacuum pump to see if the diaphragm moves and the timing advances accordingly. If the timing does not change or the diaphragm is unresponsive, the vacuum advance may be faulty.
YES! Any time you adjust the timing you should disconnect the vacuum advance.
You will need a timing light with the timing advance option so you can adjust and monitor your changes. Vacuum advance limiters along with mechanical advance timing weights and spring kits are available from after market suppliers.
Because the timing is advanced.
Petrol engineYou really need a strobe timing light to set the timingThe timing marks are visable through an appature in the bellhousingTo advance the timing you need to rotate the distributor bodyclockwise.
The timing is not adjustable. The computer determines when to advance or retard the timing as necessary.
