I agree with The Vet there CNKS. Proper ignition timing cannot be done by ear. I have seen those who have tried. They sound good, but run poorly when put under a true load (close to rated engine load). May it be a simple 4 cylinder engine, an inline 6 or a fire breathing V-8, put a light on it. An advanve type is not nessecary but is a nice feature. If ya do not have a timing light, buy one with the advance built in.
