I do it usually the following way with an unknown cam.
Most, if not 95% of all SBC run best at a total timing of 36-38 degrees, all in at around 3000 rpm. If I can not play with different advance springs or stops, I turn the dissy until I get those numbers and whatever the static advance is at idle is fine for me - as long as it doesn't ping and starts relatively easy.
I disconnect vacuum advance on dissy as that is for girls only, I treat that the same way as any cam which is not a solid roller - girls stuff
always check those settings in gear, it is of no use if you have perfect idle in park or neutral but car bogs or stalls everytime you put it into gear
