Timing is everything

Can anyone please suggest a starting point for an 83 305ci with no emmision gear fitted and a standard motor?
Its got almost a straight through exhaust, and an Edlebrock 4 barrel.
Its running reasonably ok, but i want to put the strobe light on it, the manual only seems to cater for cars fitted with all the gear, and is non too specific.

Car: VIN=85 T/A, CAR=82/3 T/A gfx, go figure. She's a T/A anyway!
Engine: 5.0, Holley 600 cfm 4-barrel
Transmission: THM350 ??
Which manual? I'll have a shufty at my Chilton manual if that's any use?
EDIT...Hmm.. I don't suppose it will be, because as you say it caters for cars with all the emissions stuff on them. Sorry.
Mark.

You'd get better replies for tech questions in the tech board.

What did you end up setting it to?

I havent yet, my m8s having a look at my Snap-On strobe [again], its been faulty more than ive used it.
Considering theres nothing these days that needs a strobe.
I thought about the tech section, but very few seem to have cars without the emission systems fitted.
