Yes, you will gain a small amount of torque, and better fuel economy. You could probably run a few degrees advanced with no trouble. Just advance it a bit at a time until it pings on grades on hot days and back it off a little bit. You will probably need to re-adjust the idle mixture and speed on the carburator after adjusting the timing for smooth idle.
