According to "Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords" magazine (July '96, pg.
166):

"Most 5-liters come with 10 degrees or less initial timing from the
factory. In most cases, the timing may be advanced substantially for a
dramatic improvement in ET. Most 5-liters can take at least 14 degrees,
but we've seen as much as 18 degrees in a stock 5-liter using good pump
gas (93 or 94 octane)."

I cannot vouch for this information from personal experience, but since
they printed it it must be true, right?

Sounds like you're on the right track. Just advance it a little at a
time and test, test, test. When you and your truck agree on an optimum
setting, post it. Good luck.
