Help with ignition timing

I bought a remanufactured distributor, a dial back timing light, a tach & dwell meter and a set of advance springs for the car. Now all I need are real world specs on what to set the advance and initial to.
Here is the car:
Stone stock 1969 Dart 340 with a stock 727 trans and 323 rear gears. Car has the stock HP manifolds, and the original AVS carb.
What should the initial timing be set to?
Where do I want to be with the mechanical advance all in?
Should I use the vacuum advance, and if so, should all adjustments be made with it attached or disconnected?
When people say set timing at full advance to XXº, do they mean with or without vacuum advance??
Looking for real settings from you more experienced guys. I am as green as they come when it comes to Mopars! LOL

Thanks in advance. (no pun intended :D )
