Engine break in on a slider cam does not care where the timing is at. As long as it runs. With that said proper is ideal but anything between 5 to 20 during high idle will suffice.
We all know total for power but during breaking, who cares.

I would use as much initial timing as the starter will take, retarded timing makes the motor run hotter. Then adjust the total after breakin.

Set crank at 10 degrees BTDC with rotor pointing at #1, index the reluctor ring exactly pointing to the pickup. Fill float bowl(s) with gas Will start first click of key, Proceed with break in procedure.

Fill float bowl(s) with gas Will start first click of key, Proceed with break in procedure. Do this, most important that it starts immediately, then add a little more with a light once it starts, about 35-40.
