Before investing in my first Strobe timing light I used to do all my
ignition timing that way, and still revert to it now from time to time (pun
intended).
So go ahead and retard a little at a time until the knock, or "pinking" as I
have always called it disappears, you will then have an engine that is as
correctly timed as possible within all the variables of worn parts.
