Whats the correct timing for a 350?

[Mikes64]

I have a 350, in a 64 C10, that I believe to be manufactured some time in the seventies or eighties. what is the correct timing and exactly where on the engine can I find out how old it is?

Mike,

On most stock 350's the timing should be fine at 6-8 degree's before top dead center. If the cam is not stock you should contact the cam's manufacturer for the best timing suitable for your cam.
