Be sure to plug off the vac advance when setting timing.
More initial will increase your idle slightly. Just turn the idle back down and adjust your mixture screws.
Thank you for your assistance. I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I will make some adjustments and see if it helps with the temperature.
