Re: 87 350's
Um. Are you playing with the timing chain or just setting the timing by moving the distributor?

Adjusting ignition timing will not effect valve to piston clearance.

Re: 87 350's
Set the timing to the proper spec, unless you have some mods and/or want to go a bit faster.
The dizzy timing won't mess with the valve/ piston clearance
