Timing Question (Dumb)

OK don't yell at me. Here is my question. What should be or what is the equation to figure out the correct timing with my new cam?

I have been told since I have a new cam my initial timing will not be the same as stock.

I have timed the engine by ear. I know not the right way to do it, runs good, but I would like to do it correctly.

Thanks

If you have not changed the distributor use the factory specs.

The dizzy is a remanned stock one, with a crane cam XRi points conversion and a mallory ignition.

So use the stock timing. So need to tell my buddie is crazy.

Now I look stupid

That's what I get for having a chevy guy as a friend.
