Ignition timing......... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

This is for the gearhead mechanics out there. I believe my timing is a little slow, and I want to advance it but am not sure how much. I know a lot of dedicated gearheads can pretty much tune their motor by ear, but not me. Can I get a couple of recomendations on what to advance it to? My 350 is basically freshened up with a Holley Contender aluminum intake, Edelbrock 1406 Carb and an HEI ignition with vacumn advance. I'm looking to get the optimum advance I can without making the motor detonate. How much is that (guestimating of course!)?
