mark its location ...
loosten the bolts and turn it about 2-3 degrees.
If it pings, turn it down a little. You'll have to run high octane gas if u do this form now on while its advanced.

Before you do that, locate the diagnostic box on the firewall behind the battery. Jump the 10 and the GRD with a short 2" jumper wire.

You need to use a timing light so you can see how far you've advanced.

Clockwise to advance...
