Not Ranked
I just made it back to this thread after a year. Sorry I never got back to the guys looking for more info. on what I did. I seldom subscribe to the threads.
I am dialing in my 427 side oiler. It "feels" like 12 degrees initial timing is about right with cast iron C5AE Medium Rise heads. I haven't recalibrated the distributor but I believe the stops I used limit the total mechanical advance to 24 degrees for a total of 36. I'm still breaking in the motor and will be taking it easy for the first 500 miles. I will let you know if this changes.
