I am not an engine guy, I like the body work stuff myself. So I need some help here.

I need to know what I should set my timing at for my setup.

I have a 1969 Pontiac 350, Pertronix ignition module inside the original distributor, a mild Comp Cam, bored .30, Edelbrock 650 4bbl carb mounted on an Edelbrock RPM Performer manifold, original exhaust manifold, dual 2.5" exhaust.

Would my timing be set to Factory specs? My Chilton's book says 9B. Does that sound correct and what does it exactly mean? I assume it means to the negative side of 0.

If not, what are your recommendations for my setup?

Hopefully, I gave you enough information.

Thanks a bunch,

SAM
