Used to be that the factory settings were pretty good.  Then smog
control started and they optimized for emissions instead of a good run. 
I set my timming by sound.  Advance the timming as far as you can
without getting ping, then retard about 1-2 degrees.  If you Dist has
the fine adjust wheel it is easy to play with over about a 5 degree
range.  Make sure the wheel is centered when you set the timming then
you can advance or retard.
