440 timing pinging and popping thru exaust

Figure out how the set the advance curve in the new one, and then set it properly. You're the only one that can get your hands on it.

I am assuming that once I put a digital timing light on it I can tell if the dist vacuum advance is working properly but I don't know how to tell if it is setup properly...can you tell me a brief synopsis of how I can tell if the curve is correct and how to properly adjust it or is that something best left to an expert since I have never torn down a dist just replaced them?
