Timing a 350

Timing a 350
Looking for the best way to set timing. Currently I just set the initial timing to 11 deg. (I think that is correct for 71 Cutlass 350). I came across something called Total timing which is set timing to 36 deg. at 2500 to 3500 or whatever the RPM is when it stops advancing. Then if you check timing at idle, you can then calculate the timing range. So, what should the timing range be. If it is not 25 deg, should I make changes in the distributor mechanical timing mechanism.

Also check your spark plugs out regularly to ensure they are in the proper heat range and your fuel mixture isn't either to rich or to lean.
