I am getting ready to start my 235 and found this thread in a search. I got a HEI distributor from Tom Langdon and said the initial lead is 20 degrees. He said the 235 with a stock cam likes 30-32 degrees advanced which would be the initial plus 10-12 with a timing light.

Is a delayed timing light the only way to do this? There are no indicators on the flywheel except the little ball and the triangle that precedes it. Does anyone know how may degrees the triangle would be advanced from the ball?
