Don't worry about old codes, it ran so crappy that the computer probably didn't know what to do.

I cleared them and it runs really good now I haven't re checked the timing since I set it at 10 but it feels so much faster now not sure what can make the timing go up I have a brand new harmonic balancer would the EGR valve have something to do with it

The computer controls all that sht.
When you set the timing and lock down the distributor, check the timing again, the slightest movement when tightening it down will change the reading, lock it down, plug in the spout and start it up an the timing appears to change, the computer adjusts the timing many times during the running cycle and will appear to be all over the place.
Clearing codes: basically the computer gets to a point where it can't deal (adjust) per info it's given and says 'fck it', I can't deal with this and you get a crappy running engine, clearing the codes takes old info out of the equation, resetting the computer erases stored info and is needed when setting are changed like the tps (other things too).
This is all covered in the 'surging idle checklist'.

it's running the best it ever has right now it's a automatic with a shift kit and hammer shifter and it's just burning tire but I put the stock water pump pulley back on and I have a idle pulley for the smog pump 1 more question to advance timing u turn it to the passenger side and driver side to lower it correct

You get that book yet?
The distributor is turned clockwise or counter clockwise.
Clockwise advances timing. Counter clockwise retards timing
