mines an 87 with the same setup, and mine is supposed to be 6* BTDC. under the hood there will be a sticker with that kinda info, itll be either on the underside of the hood or on the rad support.

OK, thanks Gramps. I wonder what would be ideal for best performance though on a stock engine?

well back in 87, they designed the 6* when running on regular gas. but the only real way to tell is to take it to a dyno, put some high octane in there, and do some runs. start at 6* and go up 2 * until your numbers start to decline, then retard it 1* until the numbers decline. that way you'll find your perfect timing.
