Fair enough, but when finished, always verify your static setting by
slowly rotating the engine in the *correct* direction (e.g. push car
forwards in 4th gear) and watch the lamp go out. There is a fair amount
of slack in the system, and it is quite easy to mess things up.
The advantages of dynamic setting is that you don't have to worry about
the slack, that it takes slightly less time, and that you can check the
operation of the RPM and vacuum advance mechanism while you're at it. The
two primary catches are:
1. Too high idle RPM, advance starting to come into play.
2. Forgot to disconnect the vacuum advance and/or retard. Then you
shall have no pie.
