Post 460 timing problem

Alright i just got this 79 ford bronco with a 460 in it. Its got the 4 barrel holley carb with twin fuel lines. The engine is not timed right so i need to retime it yet i dont know what to set it to because it doesnt say so on the engine. If anyone can help me i would be greatly appreciated cause im really tired of shooting out fireballs.

I think it's supposed to be 8 degrees, but don't quote me on this. If you aren't really sure about that, it's hard to go wrong with 10 degrees on a Ford engine.
