each engine is different but give it to a mechanic and let him set it to somewhere around 32 - 34deg total timing. This will take the vacuum of the engine into play as well. If you don't want to spend the money take the vacuum off the carb and set to 4-6 deg on your timing cover. This will be pretty close to the same setting. If you have difficulty starting turn counter clockwise just a hair and you should be ok.

∙ 13y agoDisconnect and plug the distributor advance vacuum hose. Loosen bolt, but leave it snug on clamp that holds down the distributor. Clean the timing marks on the damper and the degree scale so they are visible. Run engine until warm and idling at 650 rpm in park or neutral. Using a timing light connected to number one spark plug wire, rotate the distributor back and forth so the 0 on the scale lines up with the mark on the damper. All 1969 Buicks with the 350 engine, the timing calls for TDC (0) accept the Lesbre which is set at 5 BTDC. Shut engine off and reconnect distributor vacuum advance hose and tighten distributor clamp bolt.

Why Burning oil Old Chevy 283 V8 No smoking 1st minute after cold start Then blue smokes bad for 5 minutes then stops again No smoke out breather just exhaust Bad valve seals?
Probably valve seals but also check the oil drain return holes at the back of the heads, they could be plugged up.
How do you find engine size of a 1965 Chevrolet Impala SS V8?
On the right (passenger) side of engine, just ahead of the front edge of the head there is a little flat area where the block extends a little further forward than the front edge of the head. The number is stamped on that flat area which is aprox 1.5 x .5 inches. You may need to sand the area a little with medium sandpaper, and then rub some white chalk on it. When you are finished, be sure to wipe some grease on it for rust protection or someday the number won't be readable at all, as the stamping is very light at best. There are many resources available such as manuals and the internet, where you can then look up the number. My guess is that you have the 283 which was common for that year, however there were a few other engines, both small and big block that were used on occasion. Good Luck Rick
