Setting the timing on a 69 318

Kind of a slippery slope talking about the CAP specs. Unless his car was built in LA and still has the original distributor, let's not get side tracked. The CAP specs were just for emissions and made the cars run like crap. LOL
Its not a side track. He said he's got a stock '69 318. If it has a 69 or newer distributor in it, odds are its an emissions curve.
