Timing adjustment after engine swap

I just recently swapped out my 91 302 with an 86 302 out of a Grand Marquis. I need to adjust the timing and i'm not sure, do i adjust the timing for the 86, or do i adjust the timing for the 91 because the computer is still the original?

Timing adjustment after engine swap

there is a difference? I would adjust it to 10 degrees as this is the standard........ Or what the truck's vacuum sticker says, the computer will compensate for any diffs, or at least it will attempt to.

I am quite sure the base timing is the same on both engines, 10 degrees BTDC.
