The posts in this thread show how completely IGNORANT Newbomb Turk is about ign timing. Follow his advice at your peril....
The links [ below ] are from different engine brands. While there are slight variations in the exact timing numbers, the concept/theory is the same.

Sometimes MVA is helpful and workable and sometimes it can cause unintended consequences. As usual it is combination specific. Not every combination will want it and even if it does you may have to compromise how much you give it. What is good at idle might be too much at cruise.
While it could be as simple as plugging the vacuum can to MVA often times it requires more steps and for some people it's too much. Not saying that is a good reason not a good reason to do it.
