Appropriate timing RMP

I've got a '94 ranger xl, 3.0L V6.
Recently replaced the distributor, so had to mess with the timing.
For lack of a published timing RPM, timed the ignition for 10 degrees BTDC at a warm idle.
Seemed to work great for a few hundred miles, but now the truck seems to occasionally miss or run rough at higher RPMS.
What is the right RPM for setting the timing?
Thanks,
Evan

Ignition timing is set at idle with the spout removed, idle speed is approx. 700-1000 depending on engine and tranny.
