Timing - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

What is the best to set my timing at? It is a '72 P/U with a 350, automatic, and a 204/214 degree duration cam. We just played around with the timing, and with the vaccum advance removed and plugged, it is right at the 0 on the mark. With the advance hooked up, it jumps to about 4 at idle. Is this a OK setting, or should i move it more to the advance side?

My Daily-Driver: '72 Chevy LWB Custom/10. Rebuilt 350, roughly 300 HP thanks to a mild cam, Edelbrock intake and carb, headers, and 40 seires Flowmaster mufflers. Ochre with a white top. Plans as of now include a bigger cam, lower gears, and lots of body work.
