When I check it with a light and is says 8 BTDC or 10 or 7 or whatever, what does this compare against ?

I know I must not go beyond a number (35 I believe it was) and the distributor can advance 24. I am at 10 now so just ok.

However If I know specifically where I am at tick over what do I compare this to ?
Visard Chevy book says 8-10 degrees, so not that specific.

Surely the magic number is engine specific ?

thanks for the help
