Timing my 350

Having got my engine running again after a new intake, starter, conversion to a pertronicx ignitor I need to set the timing, what should I be aiming for with a fairly stock 350 with an unknown but not wild cam. Its a long time since I timed an engine but I have a new good quality timing light and I'm ready to have a bash at it. Which direction do I turn the distributor to advance and which way to retard the ignition? Any hints nd tips welcomed, I amy also be back for some advice on adjusting my carter AFB to get it running right as I think its running rich at idle at the moment.
