Car is down right now but it is stored in the box.
set 0 rpm to 14
set 1000 to 21
have 32 total advance by 3500
vac advance 8* anywhere over 16" vac ( you'll have to convert it to the different measurement)
Everyone says not to go high on timing with an ls but carbed ones are different. Billy Flantos runs alot of timing and runs well too.

Couple updates today. We tore apart the T56. I was told it was problem free, but it actually needed a couple gears, oh well. Also got the frame stands in and started working on setting up the clutch master.
Subframe all cleaned up and the new frame stands mounted
Clutch master cylinder mounted using the DSE plate. Going to figure out attaching the rod to the pedal tomorrow...

Got the engine in today! 
We first tried it with the frame stands where their labels said they should be, but it put the engine right up against the firewall. The frame stands also hung way off the subframe. So we switched 'em around side to side and dropped it in again. Looks much better now with about 2.5" from the rear block face to the firewall. Everything seems to fit well with adequate clearance. Also got the fuel pump mounted.
There's not much room back there where the pump couldn't get hit by the axle or spring

More progress today...
Got the LS7 clutch set up
Hole cut for the shifter, about 4" back from stock
Motor is just about ready to go except for carb, exhaust, and wiring. I tried all of my exhaust manifolds I have (5 different sets) and none of them seem to fit on the driver's side
Might have to call up ARH

Just a small update today
Got a new Be Cool radiator to handle the AZ summers. Should definitely do a better job than the old single core would've
Had to replace the heater core as well. Getting the new one back through the firewall is proving to be a huge pain in the ***

Small update today...
Got the extra part of the shifter hole filled in with a section of the sheet metal removed for the new/bigger hole
And the blocking ring I've been waiting for finally arrived so we got the trans back together. check out the nifty reverse-lockout-solenoid block-off plate
