Quick, I need help!! 302 timing

I have search, and found timing info on everything but the 302. Mine is a 1970 302, and I found out my distributor is loose, it was sputtering like crazy yesterday. Anyway anyone know what the timing is, and firing order, and also the point set? This is my daily driver and I gotta get it going.
Thanks for looking.

Timing is 6-8 degrees BTDC. Firing order is 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8, and the point gap is the thickness of a match book. Hope this helps.
