Important Tip: Retarded timing raises the exhaust gas temperature considerably. When performing an initial start on a newly painted car, or when installing a new/rebuilt engine, make sure you advance the timing and run a little richer fuel/air mixture. Also, point some portable fans against the sides to help with heat dissipation. This will keep exhaust temps down and avoid blistering the paint.
