dwell and timing specs

Hi I am new to this forum. I have a question someone here might have the answer to.
My uncle has a bus with a ford 1972 391 cu engine in it and is looking for dwell and timing specs to tune it up. If you have these numbers I would appreciate a reply. Thanks in advance. RT.

Welcome wedge to FTE.com

I would assume that it is just about the same as smaller motors.

Dwell was 28-32
Timing around 8 degrees (give or take)

A ballpark to start anyway.
