That ignition system comes with a manifold pressure sensor, so you can tune it a bit like an EFI system, so looking online for a similar engines timing curve could be a good start. If you have good piston quench height I would be a little surprised if you needed more than 24 degrees of timing at WOT.

Hey Mapplin ! Your engine combo is very similar to mine. I have 3.42's and a 4l60e, Yank PA3400 in a '71 Camaro RS. I haven't got it to the track yet. Keep us posted on how the test and tune goes. I'm very interested! Wow 4.56's
