67 coronet 500 4 dr, 383 2bbl carter single exh 727a/t.
Installed a new chain due to some serious stretch, adjust trans bands, and rebuilt carb.
Everywhere I've looked has different recommendations on timing advance on these for some reason from 0*tdc to 32*btdc. I've found a few recommendations for setting with a vacuum gauge. So far I've hooked it up to the (unused) brake booster port on the manifold and had it at a sloppy 15" vacuum at probably around 12*btdc and ran out of daylight and fuel. Put new fuel in and now it's being moody about starting back up.
I am asking if there is a straight forward step by step to getting it dialed in on both the timing and carb adjustments.
