To set the timing on a 1963 Cadillac 390 engine, you should aim for an initial timing of around 8 to 12 degrees before top dead center (BTDC). Use a timing light to check this while the engine is idling. Ensure the vacuum advance is disconnected during this process and reconnected afterward. Always refer to the specific service manual for your vehicle, as slight variations may exist based on different configurations or modifications.
