Yep, that's factory spec for sea level. You can add 1* advance for every two thousand feet above sea level. Most the guys here run 10 to 12 degrees initial advance anyway. You don't really run into problems until you have too much total advance under load. There are guys here who can explain the advance curve much better, they'll be along soon.
Is this the distributor that came with the engine?

Just remember the drivability issues with higher octane gas in a low-compression motor.
Cold-start and cold drivability being the biggy.
