70' Chevelle SS w/ a 470 ci. Ported Merlin rectangle port heads, 13:1 JE pistons, Lunati solid roller .685"/.692", Coan built 400 w/4500 stall.

I have a MSD billet distributor w/o vaccum advance. It has a total advance of 21 degrees. I am going to run 116 race gas. How do you guys recommend I set my timing? Once again, I am new to the carburated/Non-EFI world. Therefore any other advoce you have would be great!
