Welcome to the MGE. You have found a great place to be. The 2 degree ATDC was only for emissions reasons. Set your timing to 10 BTDC, with the distributor vacuum line disconnected and plugged. The car will run much better.

Welcome Fons!
You have what is called NA spec or Federal. Whatever emissions you can legally strip do so. Keep "tuned"!
