Set the idle to ~900 first, and see where your timing is now.
I found no difference when leaving the advance/retard lines connected as long as you don't rev more than ~900. Try it yourself by pulling the advance off when running.
If you disconnect any one line, you'll need to plug them because now you have a leak.
I use a timing light (Stroboscope) to set at 5-7 at ~900, all lines connected, adjusting several times the idle speed and mix.
Re-check the timing after you are happy with RPM and mix..
I run 91-92 octane.
Keep your distributor happy by removing the cap and rotor, remove the small felt-plug and put a few drops of oil in there, replace the plug. Feel the play on the shaft, there should be none or very little.
I also put a little oil on the plate to ensure that it moves freely.
