What's your Timing set to? *strokers*

For those with small block strokers, what is your timing set to?

Today I checked my 408 and adjusted down from 7 to 5 after hearing a couple of pops while cranking and the other just after firing. I have Eddy heads, 10:1 CR, Racer Brown (.470/232) cam, and 650 Mighty Demon and want to know what others have set their timing to with similar specs.

The readings are the same whether the Vacuum going to the dist is hooked up or not, thatÂ’s normal at idle, right?
