Fill the car with the gasoline you normally use, bring up to operating temp,
advance the timing and drive the car, applying various levels of
acceleration. Keep advancing the timing 'till you get pre-ignition, ie;
valve clatter. Retard the timing 'till the rattle disappears, that's it. You
might want to retard an additional 1-2 degrees just to deal with varying
gasoline.
