Check the distributor clamp.  My 'B has a tendency to advance timing if the
clamp isn't quite tight.

Pretty sad when I comment on the car and not the blonde.  God I must be
getting old.

... there was an intense detonation sounding clatter.  The car has a mild
bump in compression and I run midgrade gas to avoid detonation but I have
never heard this aggressive of a sounding detonation back before I switched
to midgrade (about 7 years ago, and never heard any detonation ever since).
I drove the car to work anyway, stopped and filled the gas tank with premium
gas but that did not change things.  By the time I got home the engine
seemed a bit down on power, idle was about 150 rpm lower with a pronounced
engine shake...
