You'll know if its to far advanced as it will "struggle" to start when hot. You don't want to get over the 36 mark or you could start having problems. The little timing tab on the engine will have an A on it(stands for Advanced) with several little marks...you'll see a 0 and each mark from there reads 2, 4, 6, 8 ,10.

thanx for the tips. I definitely don't want to run ethyl. This is the only vehicle in my stable that runs regular gas. Before the winter set in I paid $1.69 here.
