After your test drive, test for ease of hot start. If you have a bit too much initial, it will start easy cold and be hard to start hot. If it starts easy both hot and cold, you can try a couple more degrees initial. Sometimes it is OK to be a couple of degrees short of max initial so you are sure it will start hot on a hot summer day when you are hauling a load or pulling a trailer or both.

Sounds good in the video.

My stock 350 only likes about 13 initial per the factory marks. I have not verified the 0 mark matches true TDC. But a hot day here is 100+F and I am about 1000ft above sea level. With the vacuum pot hooked up, it goes well off the top of the timing mark tab.
