Advanced Timing (Timing in general) 700 1987

Does the knock sensor need to be bypassed somehow to set timing.
Im told that the 89 740GL B230F ignition timing is run by the ECU
and turning the distributor cap won't advance ignition timing.
Whats going on with turning the cap then? Is it changing only dwell?

Is there no way to tweak the advance for our beloved E10 fuel?
(Advance to just before knock under load)

Thanks, Bill
