The reason to check the ignition timing, is to get the best efficiency out of the engine. Fuel economy and power.
The spark has to ignite the fuel/air at just the right time, to be efficient.
Most modern engines have this done automatically, by computer and sensors.
You may need to check it after a rebuild, or you suspect problems.
Older engines need to be checked more often, as things wear or bed in.
