This is why I originally asked...
Sounded like he was asking about timing settings for a stock "vette" motor with cylinderheads that weren't offered during that build year. For optimal performance, do as Coolchevy states and let the initial (without vacuum advance hooked up) fall where it may.
I do have to disagree with the vacuum advance comment. If you drive the car on the street/road/highway the vacuum advance will do nothing put help you, your motor, your gas mileage and your wallet. Non-vacuum advance distributors are for race cars only and people that 'think' the loss of the vacuum canister will give them more HP or make them cooler.
Ranks up there with:
1. Cams too big engine combination/performance goals
2. Valvetrain too exotic for engine combination/performance goals
3. Fuel system too large for engine combination/performance goals
4. Carb too big for engine combination/performance goals

Are you trying to get the stock timing settings?
