I run the initial timing of my 292 L6 at 12 degrees.
If we could still buy the kinda gas we could in the last century, with no alcohol, you could use the factory-specified timing of 0* or 4*, but fuel available now is no longer formulated for performance.
'68 C/10, SM465, 3.73 12-Bolt Corp rear.
My engine, although original, has been rebuilt -- bored .030 over, Crane 260H cam, larger [1.84''] exhaust valves, Clifford headers, Offenhauser intake, Edelbrock 1404 500 CFM 4Bbl Carb, HEI. I haven't run a Monojet carb in 41 years, so I can't help there.
