Hey guys I know this question has probably been asked a million times but what is the timing for a stock 360?
 
i know this is gheto, but listening to the engine as you play with the disributor works surpisingly well

YMMV, but for my '74 360 and the several 318's I've fiddled with, the timing has been 5* BTDC. Ought to be a decent starting point anyway.

If you do not need to pass the states sniffer test, hook a vacuum gauge up to a full time vacuum port and twist that distrib. until you reach the highest vacuum reading, re-set carb idle speed, and be done with it.
 
I did what rumblefish said and it works very well you may have to dial it back a bit when your done to prevent detonation or run premium gas.
