351c w/ Comp Cams 280h, what ignition timing?

[Machlovin]

For those of you that have run a similar set up to mine with a 280H camshaft:

351c 4v open, 9:1 compression

Comp Cams 280h

Flat top pistons

Holley 670cfm

Air gap intake

Mallory mechanical advance distributor

Electronic ignition

Full length headers

2400 rpm stall

3.25 rear end

What's a good/safe place to set my inital and total timing at? Also what should my timing curve look like?

Thanks!

16 degrees initial and 36 total is a good place to start.

Here is a great thread about timing and the exact steps to awaken your 351c into a fire breathing dragon.

Follow those steps, ask questions where necessary and let us know how it turns out.
