someone told me that i could spray with a little higher timing with the jacobs ignition sysytem i have (i think i remember correctly?) i havent sprayed this year yet though. timng is still at 12, and havent had a chance to check plugs. would retarding the timing that much make it feel more sluggish?

ALSO- after setting the timing. do i turn the car off first, THEN attach the plug? or, attach it, then turn off the car. i did the aforementioned!
