Where to set timing

^^Thats how its done. That is the starter plan.
Except I dont agree with this part :
" If you set your motor up this way, you must hook the vacuum to manifold vacuum, NOT ported vacuum. This allows the vacuum advance to drop down as the throttle opens reducing the advent of gas knock under load."
I am a firm believer in using the spark port, for the can.

The tricks are just a bit of knowledge, and a lot of experience.
