I did the tappet cover gasket on my 2F this weekend including pulling the distributor out. I made sure to put the distributor back in the same rotor position as when I pulled it out. I did not have a timing light on hand to verify timing, so I adjusted it by ear and set it at the smoothest idle. My girlfriend was a little confused as to why it was so much quieter haha. When I restarted the truck afterwards, it took a few extra cranks but otherwise started up and ran fine. Going for a test drive it ran like a raped ape with no odd noises or knocking of any kind.
I'm sure the timing is plenty advanced now, my question is how much is to much? I like the increased power, I just don't want to go overboard and grenade the engine. I'm fully de-smogged with Sniper EFI and the MSD springs in the dizzy.
