I just converted my auto rb20det 240sx to a 5-speed

i was reading some spec info on the motor and it said that the stock timing on the autos is 15 and the mt is 20.

do i simply rotate the CAS a couple mm ccw to advance?

with a timing light, you watch the timing marks and adjust the CAS accordingly.
