My 1964 Glenn's says 4 degrees before on most models of the motor. Some
four barrels are 8 degrees before, and injected motors are 10 or 12 degrees
before. With your carb and manifold I think I'd try 8 degrees and adjust
from there.

Subject: [oletrucks] Need Ignition Timing Spec's for 283 engine
Just ordered a Mallory Unilite distributor, 'performer' intake manifold and
Edelbrock 600 CFM carb for my '56 with a mild/stock 283 and 2004R auto
tranny. I don't have an engine book for a 283 and need to know the timing
setting and expected advance. Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance.
