Get the car to idle around 1000 RPM by turning the idle stop on the carb.
Get timing light and turn the dizzy until you get 22-26* on the light. The idle may need to be turned down once you get it there. Check timing again. This is your initial timing snug up the dizzy.
After that.
with the timing light on rev the motor with your free hand until it does not advance any longer. That is your total. If you are over 34* you need to limit the stop bushing.
The above should get you pretty close and is a guide only........ Each engine is a lil different but I believe this will get you super close.
