Probably 6-8 degrees advance on the balancer.

Skullboy,
I would guess 6-12 degrees advanced (BTDC) would be a good place to start. Not "stock", but neither is your engine... Holley intake, Accel HEI...

"Stock" timing was not intended for best performance, but more a compromise between emissions and performance, etc...
