Agree with Ross on his advice.

Setting the ignition timing and engine idle speed is a back and forth process. First set the engine speed to the specified RPM. Adjust the timing to the desired mark. If engine speeds up or slows down re-adjust, then re-check timing. Repeat until timing is at desired mark and idle is at desired speed.

It is a good idea to disconnect and block the distributor chamber vacuum line when doing this job. Reconnect when finished and do a final check of timing and idle.

Also, a good time to check the chamber for a leak.

Go for it!
