How do you know your timing is advanced 4 degrees?

What did he hook up to your car to tell you it was advanced?
And for the clutch pull up on the pedal this is how you adjust a stock clutch cable

It matters because it he didn't hook anything up to your car there is no way tell your car is advanced 4°. I'd be hesitant to trust anything that guy told you. Sounds like he might have noticed you didn't have a clue and just fed you a bunch of crap
Take a picture of the Clutch firewall adjuster and someone will chime in on what one it is and how to adjust it.
