Yet another inital timing question

I would like to get an edelbrock. Looking at 1400 or 1405 or so. Would like an electric chock. Can't seem to find on in the for sale ads in my budget or reasonably priced on eBay. Looked into something spreadbore as is the manifold. Got the dizzy back in and fired up. Set it 16 initial. Don't want to look at total just yet. Car alarms going off just revving it. Tomorrow I'll take it out. Ecology is having 50% off tomorrow. Thanks again guys.
