Jim, along with what Bill said you might want to consider an adjustable vacuum advance
canister. Before you start changing the timing, disconnect and plug the vacuum
advance supply hose and go for a drive. If the pinging is still there you'll want to

PROBLEM SOLVED
I am trying to understand the whole
concept of timing
in general
There are basically two types of timing on motors--1.Cam timing, which is
the relationship between the cam lobes' opening and closing points and
the crankshaft position. This is set when the motor is built, and
cannot be changed
As others have said the engine will run but not nearly at its full potential.
However, it would be worth the effort to verify that the timing mark on the balancer
is at 0 when the engine's at TDC on #1 or #6, especially if the balancer's the 3-piece
style. If the outer ring has slipped the 7
If your light is Wright and you have the vacuum plugged / dis-connected to
the dist... The eng will run at 7deg ATDC
but a Dave said.. you'll have limited power..
I would set it for 4 or 5 deg BTDC and take it for a spin... and edge it up
from there if there is no detonation and smooth power band
With the timing set to 7 degrees ATDC, you're not even starting the
combustion process until the piston is starting to move down the cylinder.
The motor should feel pretty lazy.
If you suspect your light is bad, try another light first. Or, try your
light on a buddy's motor who knows about where
