You could look in the manual or use your timing light.

Set it at 0, then drive it under acceleration at low RPM. If there's no pinging, then advance it until you just begin to get pinging. Then retard it slightly to stop any pinging. Done.
Then if you run higher octane or go to higher altitude you can advance it sightly. All it's doing is changing your timing slightly without having to adjust the distributor shaft, nothing more than that. The only caveat is that the timing must be set properly when the octane is at 0 (between 8° and 14° in my experience depend on your altitude).

Thanks!
Sorry. The answer to your original question is yes: that's set at 0.
