[V8Vairs] Timing...

[Bryan Blackwell]

One big caveat - this assumes a stock distributor and timing curve.   
Roughly, it's best to set the timing based on the distributor in the  
engines.  Most '60s era engines will work well with 32 to 36 degrees  
total advance, so if you're not sure what you have get a dial back  
light or degreed pulley and run the engine up until it stops advancing,  
then set it to 32.  Drive it and see if it's happy, if so maybe you can  
add a couple more.  If it pings, that's too much!
