If you have a cam in it I would try about 10-12 degrees of initial advance.
Try to limit the total mechanical {no vacuum advance} to 34-36.

Play with the timing some as the smoother the motor runs, the more power she will make faster.

What octane gas are you running?

I agree w/ hyper, if you arent familiar w/ a holley maybe have a wrenchin buddy dial it in for you, theyre nto that hard to figure out ounce someone shows you how.
