87 Ranger 2.3 Timing Dada Needed

HELP! I need to set the ignition timing on my 87 Ranger 2.3 engine. Both my shop manuals refer to the emissions decal under the hood for timing settings. Only one problem---NO DECAL. Someone out there that has the dacal intact, please post the timing spec. This is the 49-state vehicle.
