Default Smog timing

Hello I have a 1976 corvette with the 350 engine and was wondering if anyone knew what degrees it’s supposed to be at when it’s idling and when it’s at 2500 rpm I’m not sure if what I have is correct and I need it to be timed for smog (it’s a federal emissions car) I don’t have the stickers on it so I’m not sure what it’s supposed to be at
