What timing for Carbureted 306

[Andy]

What timing should I use for a 650 Holly carburetor and a Edelbrock RPM intake setup. I will be driving the car mostly on weekends on the street and occasionally at the track.
Also what spark plug gap is good.

Thanks,
Andy

what kind of dist do you have. i would say start with 8 and not go over 12

Usually a good place to start is about 32 degrees of total timing!!
