79 460 timing?

I'm trying to figure this out.

The decal under the hood calls for 8 degrees btdc.

Looking at autozone they say the timing should be at 14 degrees?

This seems like a lot of timing,I'm trying to pass smog test in cali
and need to set the timing but not sure where to set it.

At the moment the HC's are to high to pass and need to start some where.

Thank you

I didn't have the specs for the timing, because my motor is a 460 swap in a 76 f100. Mine ended up running good at 10 btdc. It is bone stock.
