Always time the car with a light, ideally setting the timing for total advance. Depending on factors, should be 26-32 degrees. I aim for 28-30 deg at 2500 rpm for a mild street engine.
This assumes, dwell, shaft bushings, and other factors are properly set.

Here it is: The best timing advice ever! It is amazing how well Model A engines tolerate ham-fisted mechanics using old seat-of-the-pants methods! However, higher compression and other mods limit the tolerance factor. Time to get scientific!
