Stock, around 28, but stock, you should be using initial. High performance, as much as possible. If you put a curve kit in, and an adjustable vaccuum advance, you should be able to get 32, to 34, on pump gas, depending on your altitude, compression ratio, and outside temp. To get an accurate total, you really have to install timing tape on the balancer. Just keep advancing until it pings. That is called power timing it. No light required, with enough experience.

Where are the freeze plugs on a 350 v8?
Actually the term freeze plug is a misnomer. They are casting plugs, and have nothing to do with protecting the engine from freezing. They are located on the side of the block just below where the heads contact the block. Some 400 small blocks have three per side and on some engines there are two in the front.l NEW ANSWER: He is right about the casting plugs and 3 and sometimes just 2 on the sides of the 400 SB engines. But all Chevy V-8 and V-6 engines have 8 total. on each side under the heads where they bolt to the block and 2 in the front 1 on each side of the timing cover and 2 in the rear of the engine block were the transmission bolts up to. That makes 8

What is the difference between a 1999 Chev 3500 5.7 liter and a 2003 Chevrolet 2500 6 liter engine?
The 6.0 is a GEN.II engine and that is when GM. redesigned the Chevy engines and Transmissions. The bell housing bolt pattern is total different. The entire engine block has been changed inside and out. Motor mounts are in a different place, EVERYTHING about it is different. 1999 is when Chevy redesigned everything. From 1999 down, the good old small and big block Chevy engines would fit anything, and could be modified with less money. Nothing from 1999 down and 1999 up will interchange with each other.

How do you sit the timing on a big block Chevy?
Use inductive timing light. Clip timing light leads on batt & no. 1 wire. Keep wires out of the way of fan, etc. Let car idle. Point light at balancer & pull trigger. It will flash when no 1 fires. See where the line on the balancer is in relation to pointer on timing cover. This will tell you where timing presently is. It should be a few degrees advanced. IF you need to change- Loosen clamp distributor just enough to allow it to turn. (no more or it will hop & may have to reinstall-when running, cam gear pushes them up) Keep wrench handy. Use the light again & turn dis. slowly while running& you will see timing move as well. When it is where you want, tighten clamp. You need to check initial-at idle Total-with vac advance opening plugged at around 3k rpm (when it's all "in") Total with vac advance operational. This way you can check total advance including mech & vac & see if both working. You should check recommended initial & total for your engine. They tend to like a lot of initial, but that effects your total & you don't want total to go too far beyond 40 degrees or you get nasty preignition.
