Adjusting the timing - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I installed a new balancer on the 350. The old balancer had the timing mark lined up with the keyway slot.The new one has the keyway slot lined up at just about 10 degrees. I pulled the distributor and pointed the oil pump to #1 and reinstalled it with the rotor pointing to #1. When I started up the truck to set the timing I noticed that when I set it to 10 degrees it was running rough so I got out my vac guage and it shows 16-17. So I adjusted the distributor until I got 18 then stopped. According to my timing light this is about 15-16 degrees. How can I check to make sure that 15-16 degrees is correct?

Thanks
