MG MGA - New Distributor

Recently installed a Petronix distributor in my 58 MGA. I fiddled with timing (without the aid of a timing light)and the car started right up and seemed to run fine.

I am now noticing a slight misfire at idle, which disappears under load. I checked all of the HT leads and coil connections. The car is running a tad hotter 190F rather than the more typical 170-175F for this car. Could this be a timing issue? Perhaps a bit too far retarded?

The ignition sounds retarded to me.
