I’m far from Canadian, I’m from South Mississippi in the USA.
To attempt to answer your question, adjusting timing officially requires a timing strobe light and other stuff. Well, I grew up in a junkyard and learned how to hear and feel it out.
Different times back then, when it was as simple as twisting the distributor a few degrees ±
It really wasn’t much different than adjusting the timing on a watch, just … different …
Mama’s old '94 Nissan Sentra runs like a racecar after I tweaked the timing, it was probably about 1.8⁰ delayed before.
Huh TIL. Cool, man. It’s good to understand how stuff works – I hope!
Re: MS, I spent some time there growing up (I lived in TX), and I got a kick out of how ppl in Jackson would say “Do what?” if they wanted you to repeat yourself. I started saying that as a joke like thirty years ago, and I still say it out of habit.

You know the meme joke…
“What’s that got to do with the price of tea in China?”
Well, here’s my southern USA twist…
“What’s that got to do with the price of weed in Colorado?”
