300 total mechanical advance

I'm still searching for important numbers that I can't find.
I need to know what a 300 I6 ought to have.
I am looking for the numbers concerned with-

Degrees of total mechanical advance, maxing out at what rpm.

I am having my distributor re-curved, but I don't have an egr system.
This seems to be a gray area.
I have read that I should have about 24* of advance at 3000 rpm.

Again, I have NO egr system, it could have been removed by the P.O.
Any numbers anyone can offer will be welcome.

If anyone wants a long boring read, here is my bumbling diagnosis.

Thanks, Murph.
