331 need help with initial timing

new 331 stroker, 9.5-10:1 compression, fully ported iron heads, ported intake, twin 56mm TB, 1.7 RR, cam adv 4 degrees, full MSD, LT's no cats, no EGR, no Thermocator pump

What should the timing be set to? i know this is going to be a ball park and its going to be dyno tuned but i need to be able to drive it there.

with the spout pulled, where should it be?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
