Timing for 5.0

[racing302]

I'm about to take out my Stang ('87) and a friend of mine will look at it (used to work at Ford dealer...he's 62.) because i think it's running a little fat right now...and while he's looking at it, he will adjust the timing.

My 302 has been rebuilt a few years back, has aluminium heads and intake, ...it's also has a e-306, if i remember correctly...

Sorry if my question sounds stupid; i'm just a driver, not a mecanic in any way......what should be the timing for this kind of set-up?

With the spout connector out and @ idle I have mine set @ 12 degrees advance which seems to run pretty good on my combination with 89 octane fuel.

You may even try 14 as long as there is no knock under hard acceleration.

same here 12 to 14 with the spout out.
