standard timing on a 318?

What is the standard timing setting for a stock 1970 318 with a 4 barrel?


Kern Dog

Well, since the 1970 318 never had a factory installed 4 barrel transmission, this is only a guess: 6 degrees before TDC. The 318 4 barrel didnt come along until the late 70s or early 80s.

Yeah I put the 4 barrel on it.  Would it matter if it were 4 barrel or 2 barrel?  I would think the timing settting would be the same.  I was thinking the timing was supposed to right at TDC but I am not sure.
