The timing specs are supposed to be under the hood on the emissions tag.
The better timing lights have an advance knob that allow you to set the total timing, which occurs usually somewhere above 2400 rpm. Most engines run right when the total timing is around 36-40 degrees BTDC.
Here's the thing: If you disconnect the vacuum advance hose and plug it, the engine timing at idle should be somewhere around 8 degrees BTDC. It would likely run fine anywhere between 4 degrees and 12 degrees, and you could fine tune it based on "seat of the pants" feel when driving. i.e.: if it pings on the hills, back it down a little, if it seems lazy off the line, try a little more.
If you have set the timing anywhere in the ballpark and it isn't running right, you might have a problem other than timing.
