Yes, another timing question!

Trying to get the timing sorted on my 440. Feels a bit sluggish out of the gate. Problem is, I don't know the specs on the cam, since the motor was in when I purchased the car. It doesn't sound stock, but it's not radical either. It has a stock distributor, Edelbrock Torker 2 intake, iron heads, TTI headers and a Holly Street Avenger 770.
I have the vacuum advance plugged. Total timing is currently set at 38 degrees and initial at 14 degrees. My question is, how do I know this is correct and how do I go about getting it spot on?? After adjusting the carb for maximum manifold vacuum, where do I go?

More info. will help. What is your vacuum at idle and what is your idle speed. This will give a indication of how much cam you actually have. Also, what stall speed is your converter and what rear gear are you running. Your timing at this point is pretty close so these questions may give a better idea of where to tune next.
