timing spec for 73 olds 455 stock engine

Can anybody tell me the timing spec for this engine? It is all stock, except for a Holley on it instead of the quadraflog. the person that set it up had the vacuum lines going everywhere but where they should be, and I know the timing is off because of that. I rerouted the vacuum lines, so now all I need is a base timing spec. It has an HEI distributor, with mechanical and vacuum advances both working.

Thanks,

Rick

Rick, Motor's says there are 2 settings, one for intermediate and one for full size cars. They are:

Full: 8* BTDC @ 1100 RPM

Intermediate: 10* BTDC @ 1100 RPM

Both with the dist vac line disconnected and plugged so as not to lean it and raise RPM's.

Cool! Thank you very much! It is going to be in a midsize (G-body), so that is very helpful.
