stock timing.

I did a search for this and found nothing at all so i'm very sorry for having to repost some thing that's all ready been posted.
The timing on my new truck has gotten advanced and I can't not find what I need to set the timing back to... 79 150 7.5 A/c c6 9 in the rear. Thanks a ton guys

Does any one know what the factory timing is set at on a 460 is it the same as a 302?

I looked it up in my Chilton's manual and they show anywhere from 6 btdc to 14. With 14 on the later versions with electronic ignition. That was for 72-78 for 79 the book says to look at the underhood sticker. For mine 14 was too advanced. Pinged a little. I like around 12 for my 429 and 460.
