Because they knew somebody like me would try fumbling his way through it.

If it's not working right: At least a bonehead like me could get the initial right.

timing
I got this from fe faq
"The factory timing initial advance specs on the FE are 6BTDC. Increasing the advance to 10 - 12BTDC can greatly increase your throttle responsiveness."
what will give the best fuel economy?

Usually more timing = more fuel economy, power, and efficiency, as long as you're not pinging. There are some engines that wont ping even when set for more timing than the setting that produces the most power, but this is a rare occurance for a pump gas burning, street driven engine. Also, it's not just a matter of more or less timing, you've also got an advance curve in there, so you could have too much at one rpm and not enough at another rpm. Then you throw vacuum advance in there... it gets complicated.
