   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

   You could start with about 8*. Advance until you get spark knock when you drive it and back off a couple of degrees. i wouldn't go much more than 12* base timing though.

   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:
