How to advance timing?

To advance BASE timing, you need to jump E1+TE1 on the diag plug.
With the CEL flashing, and engine idling at 650rpms, you can shoot your timing gun at the crank pulley.
The timing gun should be clipped accordingly to the battery and the first or sixth spark plug cable.
To advance the base timing, you need to read the "check" marks that illuminate with the strobe of the timing gun. The block has numbers, 15 being the highest I believe,
Move the CPS till desired base timing appears.

How exactly do you move the CPS? I just changed my crankshaft gear and i checked my timing and its at 0* and i need it at 10*(factory spec).
doesnt the computer retard the timing alot? would i have any serious ill effects of switching to 15 degrees advanced?
