Any recommendations on where to set timing on a 250?

Hello everyone, I'm wondering if anyone here has any recommendations on where to set timing on a 250 straight 6
I haven't put a timing light on my engine yet, just have it roughly set by ear.
My engine is I believe a 69 block bored 30 over with factory style non integrated head/manifold. 1976 factory solid state distributor ignition.
