Think of timing like a clock, with Top Dead Center being 1200 Noon. If you move the distributor counter clockwise the electrical connection is made before (or in Advance of top dead center). At idle you should be near TDC. when the engine increases RPM (speed), the Vacuum advances the spark before TDC. This is necessary to get an explosion earlier, to increase power. I have a 1930 Model A and you retard the timing to start, then advance it to achieve an idle. This is manual and is done by pulling down on the left lever on the steering column. I hope this helps you!
