timing on a 454?
Basic build up is this:
Car: 1970 Chevelle
Trans: M22 4 speed manual
Gears: 4.10's
Engine:
454, ~10.0:1 CR, 230 @ .050 cam (CompXE274 IIRC), MSD 6AL ignition w/o vacuum advance, Eddy performer RPM, Holley 800cfm Double pumper, headers, 2.5 inch dual exhaust.
Intended for mostly street and having fun, with occasional romps down the 1/ mile.
What kind of initial timing do you guys recommend to start with? Where do you think the big block will be happiest around at full advance? When do you think total timing should be in by? I just want some reasonable starting points to save alot of time and hassle...
Sorry for the newbish question...I'm a mopar, small block guy helping out my buddy with his GORGEOUS chevelle...showing him a couple tricks of the trade

Thanks guys! It's been a long road. Fun doing finishing work for sure. Getting the dash ready for paint and some interior trim. Have to do some finish work on the aluminum headliner before...
