Correct Timing is:
10 Before for the 310HP engine
14 Before for the 325HP engine

By the way - the 350 is a small block you should post questions in the small block section.

Matt. I assume you have done a commplete tune up already and was just trying to get the timing dead-on. Make sure you set it with the vaccum advance disconnected. Good luck.
