All,
In order to help you help me, I made a recording of the engine with a quality
microphone and posted to YouTube (link below).
In addition to the normal tappet and valve noise we should hear in the engine,
I have this mysterious "rattle" that seems to correspond to the advance
kicking on or off.
Randall suggested it might be detonation, but I have no idea what the hell
detonation sounds like.
Could you please watch/listen to the video and discern what the noise is?
(Detonation, other)

The following comments are related to the video:
After start-up, the rattle is spotty when idling
When I move to fast idle, it greatly diminishes
When I give it real throttle, the rattle is super loud and present
When I come down it diminishes, but suddenly spikes (second 32), which I
believe is when the advance cuts out
Cheers,
