you could advance or retard the timing on the distributor by simply rotating it clockwise or counter clock wise depending which way your engine rotates.(usually clockwise) there is a nut that holds down the distributor shaft,loosen it up and you would be able to move the distributor.(carefull not to allow the shaft to come out of its base),DO NOT remove the nut all the way. on another note you may need to adjust the static timing(distributor timing) completely if you want the vehicle to start on the first try.
