Ignition timing???

OK I was wondering if someone could tell me what my timing should be at...The engine is a 350 bored out to 360, Performer RPM heads and intake, 600 cfm carb, 10:1 compression ratio, HEI ignition, i cant seem to find my cam specs which is really slowing me down but i know its a little over stock...I just turned 17 so im no expert by any means so any help is appreciated... ill try and see if i can get my cam specs...Brian

start at 10*advanced with the vaccum advance plugged and about 650 rpm if you can get it,you want about 34-36*@3000 rpmfor a total advance curve.adjust mechanical springs to get that,then adjust static advance til you get no detonation(rattle) climbing a hill in low gear,that should put you close.
