Regarding changes in timing, though not the preferred way it is possible to change timing by rotating the distributor independently of the clamp with the index marks. Take a look at how the hold-down clamp attaches to the distributor body and you'll see how this can be done. I'm not saying this happened or didn't, just that it's possible.

Personally, I'd tune-up to OEM specs and not to emissions data.
