Timing for 1976 360

I have a 1976 F-100 with and automatic, 2 barrel carb. 116000 original miles. Fuel line split and caused a small fire, now my emission sticker is 1/2 gone. I can not find the timing for this truck anywhere. Does any on know what it is. Thanks

My 76 still has all the stickers on it and it says 18 degrees, but it runs right at about 11

The manual should state 6 degrees stock, but these engines always run better with slightly more, 8-12 should suffice. I bet 10 would run like a champ.

When running big cams you usually end up in the 16-20 range @ idle.
