cant i just put a timming light on and give a couple deg bump to tdc

 

That ignition system was never designed to run anything but copper plugs. Also to adjust the timing you will need to remove the 'spout' connecter (a jumper in a wire coming off of the ignition module on the fender) then you can attach a timing light and adjust.
