Quick 888 timing question. Base timing??

[Doug Redinger]

I just bought this boat and I do not yet have a manual for it. What is the base timing and overall timing supposed to be for the 888. 1973 Ford mercruiser 302 c.i.

according to my manual, base time should be 10deg BTDC. The mechanical advance will take care of the rest.
