I'm at 30 degrees to be a little on the safe side and it is a stroker motor with a larger stroke...I plan on adding more timing soon. Looking at the plug I thought the timing was close. This is a street,strip car but has not been to the track yet so no passes yet.
Yes that is anti seize on the thread. I use it when running aluminum heads.

....there is nothing like driving my 1968 Hemi Dart around town and having people looking at you like you're nuts!!
