Yes, that’s it and need be loosened only enough to make the adjustment. Before trying to time it, look around for any vacuum leaks, especially in the advance diaphragm. On the exhaust leak, it could be something as simple as the exhaust pipe gasket but wherever it is, it shouldn’t be difficult to locate by listing or by hand - feeling near the seams for any extra puffs without getting burned in the process. You may even be able to locate it visually by adjacent discoloration.

This type of distributor also has a separate external ground wire at the bracket which holds the advance so be sure it’s intact.
