Timing question

Gents,

Got a typical question. I have a crate drop in 350 GM goodwrench with 195 hp not the 290. So what is the timing on that engine, I have heard from 0 degrees to 10... previous owner told me 0 degrees, but that seems way to low. What’s your thoughts, it is running with AC and 4 barrel Rochester carb. Idle with ac on is set at 750 rpm. Seems to diesel some after shutting it off when set at 2 degrees so I set it now at 8 and have not noticed that. However slow to turn over.... so I’m thinking that I’m getting heat soak on the old starter... if so .. question 2... what can I do about that? Purchase a mini starter? If so what kind? So for all the questions just running into some fun today..lol also to add that it was hard to turn over hot when at 2degrees before top dead center, as well.

Thanks guys as always,
Kris
