It's been so long, I can't remember off the top of my head, and my service manuals are in storage with my Scout...

The proper procedure for timing the 345 is off cylinder 8.
Time it off of #8.6 degrees sound like a good starting point to me.The degree of advance depends on a few factors altitude and fuel grade are the major ones in my opinion.I don't have a manual with me but so I'm not sure what the specs are.I remember I used to unhook the vacuum advance and set my 304 to for low grade and about 3700 feet above see level.The way I used to it was I would just find where it made good power in the 8-12 advanced range. that was a few years ago. That scout is gone now in it's place I have a turbo diesel scout traveler. good luck.
