If you set it by the marks on the flywheel through the hole in the top of the bell housing, there is a '0' mark for TDC and a second mark at 6 deg advanced (the factory spec), if you run the engine on super unleaded you'll probably get away with a degree or two more advance at idle than that and so get a little more power, providing you've got a timing light that will adjust to a specific advance.
