How dumb can you get

I am not sure how good an idea this is. You would retard the spark some under severe load going uphill.
But full retard going down is making the motor run very late and prone to overheating. It is holding the car back because it is so retarded. But that ain't necessarily better.

If you must I would not fully retard it
