Ive got a late 60s V-8 350 with a Carter AFB comp. carb. Im trying to figure out what the timing should be, does anyone have a clue???
Thanks,
Mitch
 
8)I set mine at 10degrees BTDC.....No knocks, runs nice, YMMV
 
I have similar engine but it has HEI.
All of my driving is at 7000' asl and up. I screwed around with AFB jetting, rods and springs and got her leaned out, then tweaked the timing 2 deg at a time until I ended up at 13 btdc at idle.
Make sure your centrifugal advance and vaccuum adv is OK.

Here's a good site with HEI tuning tips:
