Optimal specs..

I am looking for the optimal specs for my 68 350.. 350 is from a 71.. ( not by my choice )

Looking for best specs for power, economy not that big-a-deal..

Timing = ??
Spark Gap = ??
Dwell = ??
Idle RPM = ??
flip the air cleaner cover upside down for more air intake ?
oil additive LUCAS =?
any othet tips that I can use tonight?

also put new water pump in yesterday and now it takes almost 15 mins to warm to above the cold mark. Gauge is working fine. I know if engine runs to cool you loose power. how to heat her up a bit?

Thanks

Rich
