If the 235 is still running stock compression I would find the TDC with a pencil using Apache's method (the pencil won't scratch the piston) and then run it about 5 degrees advanced from that, and play with it a bit. It's pretty hard to get a stock 235 to knock but it will run better on certain timing settings.
